Section 232 Inclusion Request - United States Steel Corporation

A measure identified as “BIS 2025 0023 0702” with type “232” is associated with a U.S. Section 232 trade measure. Section 232 measures address imports that the U.S. government determines may affect national security. The identifier is a reference used in trade data; it is not, by itself, a product classification or proof that every item in a related industry is covered.

These measures typically affect importers when their merchandise matches specified product descriptions or Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) provisions, often together with rules about country of origin, processing, exclusions, quotas, or alternative treatment. The importer may need to report an additional Chapter 99 HTSUS provision and pay an additional duty, or comply with another stated requirement. Coverage depends on the official measure text and tariff instructions, so an importer should verify the exact product and transaction rather than relying only on a general product name.

What to check

• Identify the complete HTSUS classification, including any required Chapter 99 provision, and compare it with the measure’s listed tariff provisions.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and any rules for substantial transformation, because Section 232 treatment can depend on origin.
• Read the official measure instructions for exclusions, quotas, country-specific treatment, derivative products, and other conditions.
• Check whether the entry requires a separate duty declaration or reporting code in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), and confirm the filing instructions with a customs broker.
• Keep product specifications, bills of materials, origin records, and classification analysis supporting why the measure does or does not apply; seek broker or trade counsel review for uncertain cases.
