According to Automobilwoche, there are currently about 37,000 Audi vehicles exported to the US that are not affected by the new tariffs and represent about 60 days of inventory. There are also vehicles that have arrived in the US, although those will not be shipped out because they will be subject to the tariffs. Every Audi sold in the US is imported from Europe or Mexico.

Audi and many other car manufacturers have stopped or postponed exporting cars to the US.

As for how other auto brands are reacting to the U.S. tariffs, Car and Driver reports that BMW will cover the cost of tariffs on vehicles built in Mexico through May 1, 2025. Mercedes-Benz is doing the same for 2025 model year vehicles, though it’s not clear for how long.

Meanwhile, Stellantis has announced it will suspend production of certain models and offer employee pricing to all customers, a move that Ford is also taking. Ferrari has announced it will raise prices on some of its models by 10%, including the Purosangue, 12Cilindri and F80. Hyundai has announced it will not increase prices on its own and Genesis models for at least two months.

BMW and Mercedes-Benz will pay the cost of tariffs on cars built in Mexico until May 1, 2025.

The price hike will affect Ineos models currently built only in France, while Infiniti has indefinitely suspended production of the QX50 and QX55 in Mexico. Volkswagen, which owns Audi, has also announced it will suspend all car imports into the US.

On April 2, President Trump announced a 10% tariff on most goods imported into the US, and a higher reciprocal tariff of up to 49% on countries with high trade surpluses with the US.

However, just hours after the reciprocal tax policy took effect on April 9, President Trump suddenly announced that it would suspend its application for 90 days and during that time would apply a common tax rate of 10% to partners.

Volkswagen, which owns Audi, also announced it would suspend all imports into the US.

Meanwhile, the US maintains its decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on China. After several adjustments, the US reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods are now up to 145%.

"If we don't get the deal that we want, a deal that's good for both sides, we'll go back (on the original reciprocal tariffs). We'll have to see what happens at that point," US President Donald Trump told cabinet members on April 10.
