Was my car built in the US? VIN check

Enter your 17-character VIN to see the final assembly plant, using NHTSA's free vehicle database. US final assembly is one of the rules for the car loan interest deduction.

By the Sproutcalc team · Figures last checked · How we calculate

The VIN goes to NHTSA's public decoder. We keep a cached copy of the result, never your name.

Example result

2026 Toyota Tundra

PlantSan Antonio, Texas
Plant countryUnited States
Vehicle typePickup

Final assembly in the US. Check the other rules: new vehicle, personal use, loan after 2024.

Decoder data comes from NHTSA. If it differs from your window sticker, the IRS lets you rely on the label.
