Section 232 Inclusion Request - Louisiana Concrete Association

A measure identified as “BIS 2025 0023 0642” with type “232” is associated with a U.S. Section 232 trade measure. Section 232 measures are actions taken under U.S. national-security authorities and may apply to specified products, countries of origin, or entry circumstances. The identifier helps locate the measure, but it does not by itself tell you the product scope, duty treatment, or filing requirements.

These measures typically affect importers whose goods match listed tariff classifications, product descriptions, or other scope conditions. They can change the amount owed at import, require special reporting or documentation, or provide exclusions, quotas, or other treatment for eligible goods. The key professional terms to learn are HTSUS classification, country of origin, scope, additional duty, exclusion, quota, and entry filing. Confirm the current official measure text and instructions, and seek a customs broker or trade attorney’s judgment when classification or scope is uncertain.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s complete HTSUS classification, including any statistical suffix, rather than relying only on its commercial name.
• Read the measure’s scope and check whether the product, material, form, processing, and country of origin match the listed conditions.
• Verify the applicable country-of-origin rules and whether the measure is triggered by origin, the exporting country, or another entry factor.
• Check official instructions for additional-duty reporting, quota treatment, exclusions, certifications, and required entry data.
• Keep product specifications, bills of materials, origin records, and any exclusion or quota documentation supporting the entry decision.
