Section 232 Inclusion Request - Premier Pan

A measure identified as type 232 generally refers to a U.S. trade action under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Section 232 measures address imports that the U.S. government determines may affect national security. The action may use additional duties, quotas, licensing or reporting requirements, or other conditions. The code “BIS 2025 0023 0731” is an identifier; it is not, by itself, enough to determine whether a product is covered.

These measures typically affect importers of specified goods, materials, or components, as well as businesses that buy or use those goods in the United States. The key professional terms are “scope” (which products are covered), “HTSUS classification” (the tariff code used to identify the merchandise), “country of origin,” and “entry requirements.” A product’s description, composition, processing, origin, and tariff classification may all matter, so an importer should verify the official measure details rather than rely only on a product name or supplier statement.

What to check

• Find the official measure notice and read its scope, including covered HTSUS provisions, product descriptions, and any listed exclusions.
• Confirm the product’s HTSUS classification, material or composition, and country of origin with your customs broker or a qualified trade professional.
• Check whether the measure uses an additional duty, quota, tariff-rate quota, license, certification, exclusion, or other entry condition.
• Review whether an exclusion or exception applies, and confirm its required documentation, validity conditions, and filing instructions before entry.
• Compare the measure requirements with the commercial invoice, entry data, and supplier records, and retain evidence supporting classification and origin.
