Section 232 Inclusion Request - Buss Precision Mold 1

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. Depending on the official measure, the action may involve an additional duty, a tariff-rate quota, an exemption, or another import condition. The record titled “BIS 2025 0023 0681” should be read as an identifier for the specific official measure, not as a complete description of its scope.

These measures typically affect importers of specified products, often identified by Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings, product descriptions, country of origin, and sometimes entry circumstances. They matter because a product can have its ordinary customs duty treatment changed or require additional entry reporting. Classification, origin, product composition, and any applicable exclusions or quota procedures must be checked against the official measure and current Customs and Border Protection (CBP) instructions. A customs broker or trade counsel may be needed when the wording or product facts are uncertain.

What to check

• Confirm the exact HTSUS subheadings and product descriptions covered by the official Section 232 measure; do not rely on a product name alone.
• Verify the product’s country of origin and whether the measure distinguishes origin, country of export, or other entry conditions.
• Check whether the measure uses an additional duty, tariff-rate quota, exemption, exclusion, or another special entry requirement.
• Review the measure’s official instructions and current CBP entry guidance for required Chapter 99 reporting, documentation, and claim procedures.
• Keep records supporting classification, composition, origin, and any exclusion or quota claim, and ask a licensed customs broker to review difficult cases.
