Jaguar Land Rover resumed its exports to the United States in May after a brief pause.

Jaguar Land Rover said its sales fell by 15.1% during the three months to June, partly due to the threat of U.S. tariffs.

The Coventry-based car manufacturer, which also has sites in Solihull and at i54 near Wolverhampton, halted shipments to the United States in April after the Trump administration announced new tariff plans.

The company said the decline in sales is also partly due to a plan to discontinue older Jaguar models.

In April, the U.S. government announced it would impose additional tariffs of 25% on car imports, but later reached an agreement with the United Kingdom, and Jaguar Land Rover resumed exports in May.

Jaguar Land Rover said retail sales fell by about 94,420 units during the three months to June, while wholesale sales declined by 10.7% to 87,286 units compared to the previous year.

The United States said that the tariffs imposed on car imports aim to encourage more car production within the country.

The agreement reached with the United Kingdom stipulated imposing lower tariffs of 10% on the first 100,000 cars manufactured in the UK that are imported into the United States each year.
