Section 232 Inclusion Request - Worthington Enterprises, Inc. 4

A type 232 measure is a U.S. trade action taken under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. It addresses imports that the U.S. government has determined may threaten national security, and it can impose additional import requirements, duties, quotas, or other restrictions on covered products. Attachment_2.pdf is the document to review for the scope and operation of this particular measure; the title alone does not establish which goods are covered.

These measures typically affect importers of specified products, including goods identified by Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications and sometimes by product descriptions, country of origin, exclusions, quotas, or special entry rules. The importer remains responsible for accurate tariff classification, customs value, country-of-origin analysis, and entry reporting. A 232 measure can change the landed cost or filing requirements even when the product’s ordinary HTSUS classification has not changed.

What to check

• Read the measure’s scope and product descriptions, then compare them with the product’s technical specifications—not just its commercial name.
• Confirm the complete HTSUS classification, including any statistical suffix, and check whether the measure lists that classification or requires a separate product-scope analysis.
• Verify the country of origin and whether the measure contains country-specific treatment, exclusions, quota arrangements, or other exceptions.
• Check the official entry instructions for the correct Chapter 99 or other reporting provisions, payment treatment, and documentation requirements.
• Keep product records, origin support, classification reasoning, and any exclusion or quota authorization; consult a customs broker or trade counsel when the scope is unclear.
