Mapped: Each U.S. State’s #1 Import in 2024

Key Takeaways

• Cars & auto equipment are the highest value import in 14 U.S. states.
• Computers & electronics (including phones and chips) are the top import in another 9 states.
• Together these two categories—targets of on-again, off-again tariffs—are the top import in about half of all states.

🎯 Phones, Computers, and Cars Are Major Trade War Targets

Currently, electronics have been exempted from tariffs placed on China, but there is no indication for how long these suspensions will last.

Meanwhile, cars imported to the U.S. are attracting a 25% tariff fee.

Automakers are already feeling the pressure. Stellantis paused production at two factories and laid off hundreds of workers. Volkswagen said they'd pass on price increases to their customers.

A tariff on auto parts, expected in May, will disrupt supply chains further.
