As a person working in US taxation, I found the article fascinating. I do have a major complaint: too much stuff is devoted to trucks -- granted that's the important part, but there is complete negligence to mention anything about repeal of European chicken tariff, effects on European chicken market (so did France succeeded in selling chicken to Germany?), or effects on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy industries. In other words, it displays a very clear bias towards US and recent years (all the creative ways to find loopholes). If this is not addressed, I am not sure I will pass the article.
Other minor issues are:

- the Dodge Rampage/Plymouth Scamp had nothing to do with Mitsubishi, they were built by Chrysler in Illinois on same L-Body platform as the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon (originally engineered by Chrysler Europe as the Chrysler Horizon/Chrysler-Simca Horizon). As a fully US-built small truck, the tax obviously did not apply.
Mostly on sources.

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)
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)

"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.
