Section 232 Inclusion Request - Worthington Enterprises, Inc. 1

A Section 232 measure is a US trade action based on a finding that imports of certain products may threaten national security. “Attachment_2.pdf” is the name of the supporting document; the title alone does not establish which goods, countries, tariff provisions, or rules are covered. The official measure and its attachments identify the relevant product scope and treatment.

These measures typically affect importers of specified goods, as well as manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that bring those goods into the United States. The key professional terms are “scope” (which products are covered), “HTSUS classification” (the tariff number assigned to the product), “country of origin,” and “customs entry.” A covered product may require additional duty, reporting, or another entry procedure, depending on the applicable official instructions. Classification and origin can be fact-specific, so unresolved questions may require a customs broker or trade counsel.

What to check

• Read the measure’s scope and all referenced attachments, including product descriptions, exclusions, and implementation instructions.
• Confirm the product’s correct HTSUS classification using its material, function, composition, and level of processing; do not rely only on a supplier’s code.
• Verify the country of origin under US customs origin rules, including whether processing or assembly changed the origin.
• Check whether the measure applies to the product as imported, and whether any exclusion, quota, certification, or reporting requirement is available.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel to review uncertain classifications, origin conclusions, and entry-document requirements before importation.
