The Department of Commerce implemented the Proclamation 11020 tariff reduction for products of the United Kingdom.

A type 232 trade measure is a U.S. national-security measure under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. It may impose an additional duty, tariff-rate quota, absolute quota, or another import condition on specified products. The reference “422e390” is an identifier; it does not, by itself, tell you the product scope, rate, country coverage, or effective date.

These measures typically affect importers bringing covered goods into the United States, including goods identified by their Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classification. The impact can depend on the product’s material, composition, form, processing, country of origin, entry date, and whether an exclusion or other exception applies. A Section 232 charge is generally separate from ordinary customs duty and other trade remedies, so correct classification and origin analysis are important.

What to check

• Confirm the measure’s official product scope and the exact HTSUS subheading or statistical suffix covered; do not rely on a product name alone.
• Verify the country-of-origin rules and whether the measure applies to your shipment, including any country-specific treatment, quota, or exemption.
• Check the measure’s effective date and entry requirements against the date and type of customs entry; ask your customs broker to review timing.
• Look for applicable exclusions, product exclusions, quota procedures, or exclusion-number reporting requirements, and confirm that your product satisfies every condition.
• Reconcile the Section 232 treatment with ordinary duty, other trade remedies, valuation, and marking requirements before estimating landed cost; seek broker or trade counsel advice for difficult classification or origin questions.
