Is it possible that people don’t import many vehicles because the chicken tax applies to all the most popular models? A 25% tax is likely suppressing imports. I find it noteworthy that our domestic automakers have in some cases entirely stopped producing any vehicles which aren't protected by the chicken tax (i.e. Ford).
Edit: It is shockingly difficult to find statistics on imports as a % of US market size, if you want to filter out Canada+Mexico and also separate cars vs. trucks. Everything either lumps Canada+Mexico into "imports" or fails to differentiate cars (not subject to chicken tax) vs. trucks (subject to chicken tax).
