We\u2019re super glad to have you join us here in our humble blog space.\u00a0 If you\u2019re new to this page, this is where we dive into all things automotive.\u00a0 That means we talk about our expertise: tags and titles and just about anything that relates to those two subjects. Things like title transfers, duplicate or replacement titles, as well as adding and removing names from a certificate of title.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re the reigning champions of registration as well, if we do say so ourselves. Every day we help folks with renewing their registration, with obtaining a new license plate and\/or window sticker, with getting their hands on specialty plates, with personalizing tags, and with replacing lost, stolen, or damaged plates.<\/p>\n<p>But we also get into various other topics that pertain to us. Basically, if somehow or in some way can claim a relationship to cars, trucks, SUV\u2019s, motorcycles, RV\u2019s or EV\u2019s, we dig it.\u00a0 Things like rules and regulations, changing traffic laws, trending and new vehicles, safety matters, and as we\u2019ll see today, recent breaking news that directly affects the automotive industry.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25319 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-800x448.jpeg\" alt=\"Foreign shipping containers\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-800x448.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-1160x650.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-1536x861.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-2048x1148.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-90x50.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-320x179.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-560x314.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-1920x1076.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1302072371-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/448;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remember those proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/fact-sheets\/2025\/02\/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-imports-from-canada-mexico-and-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tariffs<\/a> that Trump promised to levy on goods imported from Canada, Mexico, and China? Well, we\u2019ll remind you: There was set to be a hefty tax increase on all goods arriving into the United States from these countries. Hefty, meaning a whopping 25% on things like cell phones, computers, appliances, furniture, clothes, oil, petroleum, aluminum, and of course cars, trucks, and auto parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To do a quick recap of how tariffs work, the taxes are not actually imposed on the exporters, but rather on the importers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meaning, that if China, Canada, or Mexico sends over a whole slew of products worth $1 billion, it\u2019s not the manufacturers that pay, it is the consumer. The importers are made to shell out the increased tax costs, and more likely than not, pass on this extra expense to their customers.\u00a0 And so while this isn\u2019t an immediate direct hit on the countries hit with the tariff, it will inevitably end up in slower, fewer, or no imports from these places at all.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Trump\u2019s motive, apparently, for enacting these tariffs is an attempt to direct the focus back to U.S. manufacturing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems that his aim is to make way for more jobs, more factories, and more investments in the United States. Long term growth, it appears, is the ultimate desired outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The automotive industry, which makes up a very large portion of the good exported from the taxed countries was due to suffer immensely from the increased fees.\u00a0 Vehicle manufacturers in all three countries subject to the tariff were (still are) faced with either swallowing the increase and the subsequent decline in sales, or closing up shop completely and moving operations to the United States.\u00a0 Both options stand as huge expenses for the automakers.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25321 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-800x448.jpeg\" alt=\"vehicle manufacturing\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-800x448.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-1160x650.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-1536x861.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-2048x1148.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-90x50.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-320x179.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-560x314.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-1920x1076.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_1052342442-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/448;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seeing as the tariff officially went into effect earlier this month (March 5, 2025), vehicle manufacturers have been scrambling to find some sort of solution. And it seems that for now, there has been some sort of an accord found.\u00a0 And it comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/ustr.gov\/trade-agreements\/free-trade-agreements\/united-states-mexico-canada-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USMCA<\/a>\u00a0 (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. This trade deal holds a very convenient loophole for some car makers to slip through. In the agreement it states that if at least 75% of a vehicle is manufactured in the United States (while the other 25% can be made elsewhere), then it can be exempt from the new tariff. At least for thirty days. Which gives them until April 2, 2025, until the fees come into effect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This means that major automakers like Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Volkswagen have been allowed a bit of a reprieve.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks in which to gather themselves and plan for the future.\u00a0 Or pack up shop and move the bulk of their manufacturing to the United States. In return for this exemption, manufacturers have promised to increase their U.S. operations, transferring even more of their business to American soil.<\/p>\n<p>From where things stand now, it\u2019s doubtful that these vehicle giants will be able to make such major moves within a thirty-day time period, but many have reason to be optimistic. GM, Ford, and Stellantis have publicly thanked Trump for the delay in enforcing the extra taxes. They\u2019ve all expressed appreciation for the exemption and acknowledged the president\u2019s move to refocus and return major manufacturing incentives to the United States. It seems that the three automakers are in agreement with Trump\u2019s vision.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25326 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-800x599.jpeg\" alt=\"Made in USA\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-1160x870.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-320x240.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-1536x1150.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-2048x1534.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-90x68.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AdobeStock_370281667-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/599;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell, of course.
