What we're looking to buy
OE and quality aftermarket parts for vehicles manufactured in the United States, Mexico and Canada, the USMCA automotive region.
Categories: brakes, suspension and steering, engine and tune-up, filters and fluids, electrical, cooling, driveline, 4x4 and truck accessories.
Why USMCA origin matters to us
Since May 2025, the US has applied an additional 25% Section 232 tariff to a list of imported auto parts. USMCA-qualifying parts are exempt, which means the American line reaches our customers at a better price. We prioritize US, Mexican and Canadian origin, and we ask for USMCA certificates of origin wherever they apply.
| Part origin | Additional US tariff |
|---|---|
| US, Mexico or Canada (USMCA) | Exempt |
| Europe or other origin | 25% (Section 232) |

Supplier FAQ
Are you buying for export or for resale in the US?
Both. We supply large repair shops and auto parts stores in South Florida, and we export to established resellers across South and Central America. We do not sell to individual consumers.
Do you hold inventory?
Not yet. We buy to order and consolidate shipments today, which is why live stock visibility through your portal matters to us. Stocking orders will follow as volume grows.
How do you pay?
Opening orders are prepaid by wire transfer. Once the account is established, we move to net 30 terms.
Do you need certificates of origin?
Yes, wherever they apply. Country of origin by part number, plus USMCA certificates for qualifying parts, help us price correctly and move more of your American line.
