| President Trump implemented a 25 percent tariff on cars earlier this month. To avoid hefty levies, some foreign manufacturers are opting not to process cars through customs at ports across the country, instead parking them in a sort of purgatory. They are on American soil, but have not yet entered the American economy. Mitsubishi, the Japanese automobile company, has been holding cars at the Dundalk Marine Terminal since April 8, according to the Maryland Port Administration. Foreign trade zones and bonded warehouses near ports of entry are legally outside of the territory that triggers duties and taxes. |
