U.S. imports of automotive parts from China have grown significantly, both in terms of value and share of U.S. imports (figure 2), reaching $15 billion and 13 percent of U.S. parts imports in 2018. U.S. imports from China accounted for an estimated 3.9 percent of U.S. automotive parts consumption in 2016 (most recent year available for U.S. parts production).39 Examining which parts the United States imports from China provides a clearer picture of China’s participation in the U.S. vehicle manufacturing supply chain. This section will break down trade by 5-digit NAICS code, and (where relevant) 8 or 10-digit HTS subheading.

NAICS 3363. The NAICS 4-digit heading for automotive parts has eight major components groups: gasoline engines and engine parts, electrical and electronic equipment, steering and suspension parts, brake systems, transmission and powertrain parts, seating and interior trim, metal stampings, and other. Nearly 47 percent ($7.2 billion) of parts imports from China came from the “other” category, making up nearly 19 percent of such parts imported into the United States in 2018 (figure 3). On a value basis, the next highest is electronic equipment, which was $2.4 billion, but imports from China make up less than 11 percent of U.S. imports of such products. This data seems to indicate that the Chinese automotive parts industry has been successful in supplying a range of components.
