The US government is inviting requests for additional downstream items to include in the Section 232 steel tariffs, Kallanish learns.
A notice has been issued based upon a coordinated effort by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security, and the Department of Commerce addressing the opening of an inclusions window for the ongoing issuance of steel and aluminium tariffs, according to a Federal Register document.
President Donald Trump in February issued Proclamations 10895 and 10896, which called for specified rates of duties on imports of aluminium and steel articles and derivative steel and aluminium items.
The BIS established a process for including additional derivative steel and aluminium articles, within the scope of the duties authorised by Trump under Section 232.
The inclusions window for submissions runs for two weeks, through 29 September.
The notice indicates that accepted inclusion requests following the submission window will be posted for a two-week public comment period.
