🏗️New Section 232 Tariff Inclusion Procedures for Steel and Aluminum

On February 10, 2025, the President issued Proclamations 10895, "Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into The United States" (Aluminum Proclamation), and 10896, "Adjusting Imports of Steel into the United States" (Steel Proclamation), imposing specified rates of duty on imports of aluminum and steel articles and certain derivative steel and aluminum articles, respectively (collectively, the Inclusions Proclamations).

This IFR also removes the aluminum and steel exclusions process authorized by clause 3 of the March 18, 2018, Presidential Proclamations 9704 and 9705 (collectively, the Exclusions Proclamations).
