    Unlock the Editor’s Digest for freeRoula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favorite tales on this weekly e-newsletter.When the US imposed a 25 per cent tariff on imported Japanese automobiles, the expectation had been larger sticker costs for US customers and falling gross sales. The idea was that the added prices to exporters would inevitably be handed down the road. But, months into the coverage, the result has confirmed far much less dramatic.Japanese automakers’ US gross sales have proven shocking resilience. Toyota, for instance, hit a world gross sales document in Might, with North America gross sales up greater than a tenth. A part of that’s due to their native US manufacturing. Behind the steady gross sales figures, export information tells a extra troubling story. In Might, the variety of autos shipped to the US declined by simply 3.9 per cent, in accordance with official information. When export worth is split by the variety of items bought, the common value per automobile drops to about ¥3.5mn, or $24,000, roughly a fifth lower than the earlier 12 months. By whole worth, Japan’s automobile exports to the US fell by almost 1 / 4. If the price of the tariffs had been handed on to customers by elevating costs, export volumes would most likely have declined. However export worth would have held regular, reflecting the upper per unit value. As an alternative, each quantity and worth have fallen. That implies carmakers are absorbing a big chunk of the tariff burden themselves. This can be an efficient short-term technique. The US stays essentially the most profitable marketplace for Japanese automakers. Even modest value will increase threat undermining market share, as the businesses face aggressive competitors from American and South Korean rivals. For corporations resembling Toyota, Honda and Nissan, protecting costs steady may defend their long-term positioning within the nation.However commerce negotiations have dragged on, with final week marking the seventh spherical of talks and little signal of decision. If, as commerce information suggests, corporations are certainly absorbing the majority of the tariff burden, their margins will likely be coming beneath rising stress. That can squeeze even financially resilient teams resembling Toyota, which has constantly reported working margins above 10 per cent since 2023.In selecting to not increase costs to completely offset tariffs, carmakers have delayed disruption, whereas playing that politicians will come to an settlement earlier than revenue runs dry. However as Japan’s chief commerce negotiator Ryosei Akazawa has famous, some native automaker executives now estimate losses of as much as $1mn per hour beneath the present tariff construction.Japan might want to act earlier than losses attain the purpose the place exports are now not viable. That would imply shopping for extra US vitality or agricultural items, or making market entry concessions in areas resembling meals security and prescribed drugs. Self-discipline from its carmakers has purchased time, however their resilience will quickly be put to the take a look at.june.yoon@ft.com
