More Steel Products Join the Federal Tariff List
Published Date: 6/16/2025
Notice
Summary
Starting June 23, 2025, new duties will apply to more steel products imported into the U.S. This update affects steel importers by adding extra steel derivatives to the tariff list, meaning some steel items will cost more to bring in. The government is making sure the tariff rules match the President’s steel import plan from earlier this year.
