The U.S. Department of Commerce this week posted the list of Section 232 steel and aluminum inclusion requests submitted by domestic producers. The requestors are asking the Departmentto subject approximately 700 HTS Codes – including marine products – as derivative articles of steel and aluminum, subjecting them to the 50% tariffs.
This is the second round of inclusion requests – with the first window beginning in May. NMMA encourages members to review the list of codes and notify NMMA if you import any products, components, or parts under the newly identified HTS codes. NMMA plans to file comments opposing certain inclusion requests, which are due October 21.
The administration established the inclusion process to allow domestic aluminum and steel producers to advocate for additional HTS codes and products to be subject to the 50% tariff on aluminum and steel derivative products. A third inclusion process is expected in January 2026.
NMMA will continue working with the administration, Congress, and industry partners to ensure U.S. trade policy is targeted, balanced, and aligned with the needs of American manufacturers.
