Talk:Chicken tax

So this is why...
...there are no pickups the size of the old LUV, Courier and P'UP available in the USA now. Chickens! Bizzybody (talk) 07:47, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

The Chicken Tax has nothing to do with the size of vehicles, only their country of origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.54.25.255 (talk) 00:32, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Similar taxes in other countrys?
This article seems to give the attitude that the US having such a tariff causes hardship to the Japanese and Germans. Why no mention, even in passing, of other countrys tariffs and laws (Korea and Japan come to mind) that prevent US made vehicles from selling in any significant quantities? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.200.56 (talk) 03:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Confused intro
"For example, Ford, which was one of the main beneficiaries of the tax, also evaded it by manufacturing first-generation Transit Connect light trucks for the US market in Turkey;" How does Ford manufacturing in Turkey evade the Chicken Tax? (Unless this is someone's attempt at a Turkey vs Chicken joke?). Manufacturing the Transit in Turkey (instead of the US) is presumably what necessitated some way to work around the Chicken Tax; it was not part of the solution.

 * The workaround was to import the trucks as passenger vehicles and convert them to light trucks in the US. Light trucks imported from anywhere outside NAFTA are still subject to the chicken tax today. This includes the big Ford plant in Turkey, which mostly manufactures vans and pickups for markets outside North America. --Ef80 (talk) 15:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
