Section 232 Inclusion Request - Worthington Enterprises, Inc. 2

A trade measure identified as type 232 is generally a Section 232 measure. It is based on a U.S. national-security review of imports and may impose additional import requirements, duties, quotas, or other restrictions on covered products. “Attachment_2.pdf” is the document label; the operative scope and treatment must be confirmed in the official measure and related customs instructions.

These measures typically affect importers of specified products, materials, or components, sometimes depending on the product’s tariff classification, country of origin, quantity, or other conditions. The key professional terms to learn are “HTSUS classification” (the tariff code), “country of origin,” “scope” (which goods are covered), “entry” (the customs filing), and “exclusion” or “quota treatment” when an official rule provides special handling. A Section 232 measure can change the landed cost, documentation, and release process, so an importer should verify coverage before shipping.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s complete HTSUS classification, including any applicable statistical suffix, with official tariff data or a qualified customs professional.
• Read the measure’s scope carefully and check whether coverage depends on the product’s composition, specifications, country of origin, quantity, or a listed exemption.
• Verify the current Section 232 duty, quota, exclusion, or other treatment in the official U.S. government instructions applicable to the entry.
• Review commercial invoices, origin records, mill or material certificates, and other supporting documents for consistency with the claimed treatment.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review uncertain classifications, mixed-material products, exclusions, quota eligibility, or overlapping trade measures.
