theoldwizard Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Ford is appealing the ruling. This could have a big impact on the next gen TC ! If they had to make them in North America, it would add more than 12 months to the already late US introduction.

FStephenMasek Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 What about Toyota bring in pickups without boxes which they install here, or the reports of Sprinters coming in as "kits?" For anyone who has not read it, the Friedman's Free To Choose is an excellent book, and it includes a good discussion of why tariffs are harmful.
