Section 232 Inclusion Request - HS Manufacturing 1

A measure labeled “type 232” generally refers to an action under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Section 232 measures address imports that the U.S. government determines may affect national security. They can apply through additional duties, tariff-rate quotas, quantity limits, licensing or reporting requirements, or other import conditions, depending on the official action.

These measures typically affect importers whose products match specified Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications, product descriptions, countries of origin, and other scope conditions. The identifier “BIS 2025 0023 0729” is a record or measure reference; it is not, by itself, enough to determine whether a shipment is covered. An importer must compare the product and entry details with the official measure instructions and confirm how U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) expects the measure to be reported. Correct classification, country of origin, exclusions, and entry-date rules can affect the result.

What to check

• Confirm the official measure text and scope, including covered products, HTSUS provisions, countries of origin, and any derivative-product rules.
• Classify the merchandise under the HTSUS using its material, function, composition, and condition; obtain customs-broker or classification advice when the result is uncertain.
• Check whether an exclusion, quota allocation, exemption, or other special procedure applies, and verify its documentation and eligibility requirements.
• Review the applicable entry instructions, Chapter 99 reporting requirements, declarations, and records needed by CBP before filing the entry.
• Recheck the measure for amendments and confirm the relevant entry-date or effective-date rule with official sources or a qualified customs professional.
