Notice
Summary
Starting February 10, 2025, the U.S. is adding new import taxes on aluminum products, including aluminum beer and empty cans. This means importers of these items will pay extra fees to bring them into the country. The government updated the official rules to make these changes clear and official.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
New aluminum import duties take effect
The President's Proclamation 10895 imposed specified rates of duty on imports of aluminum that take effect February 10, 2025. If you import aluminum products, those imports are now subject to the proclaimed duties and you will pay those extra import fees.
Beer and empty aluminum cans added to duty list
Bureau of Industry and Security revised the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to add two aluminum-derivative products—beer and empty aluminum cans—so imports of those items are covered by the duties. If you import beer or empty aluminum cans into the United States, you will pay the applicable import duties under Proclamation 10895.
