Government Opens Tariff Inclusion Window for Steel Importers
Published Date: 9/17/2025
Notice
Summary
Hey steel and aluminum folks! The government just opened a special window in September 2025 where you can ask to add more steel and aluminum products to the tariff list. If your products get included, it could mean new duties (extra costs) starting soon, so don’t miss your chance to apply!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Inclusions Can Subject Products to Section 232 Duties
If a derivative steel or aluminum article is accepted for inclusion, it will be placed within the scope of duties authorized by the President under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. That means included products can become subject to Section 232 duties (tariffs), potentially raising costs for firms that import or use those products.
September 2025 Inclusions Window Open
If you make, import, or sell derivative steel or aluminum articles, the government opened a submissions window in September 2025 where you can ask to add specific products to the Section 232 tariff scope. This notice only opens the window for requests — it does not itself add duties.
