On February 10, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10895 âAdjusting Imports of Aluminum into the United Statesâ, and Proclamation 10896 âAdjusting Imports of Steel into the United Statesâ which imposed a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of aluminum and steel articles and certain derivative steel and aluminum articles, respectively. These Inclusions Proclamations terminated the aluminum and steel exclusions process as authorized in the clause 3 of Proclamation 9705, clause 1 of Proclamation 9777, and clause 2 of Proclamation 9980, as well as a number of country exemptions and alternative arrangements to the steel and aluminum duties implemented in subsequent Presidential Proclamations. The Inclusions Proclamations also required the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) to establish within 90 days a process for including additional derivative aluminum and steel articles within the scope of the ad valorem duties proclaimed in Exclusion Proclamations, Presidential Proclamation 9704, Proclamation 9705, Proclamation 9980, clause 4 of the Proclamation 10896, and clause 5 of Proclamation 10895, respectively.
Presidential Proclamations 10895 and 10896 set several requirements for the Department of Commerce to include certain derivative articles of steel and aluminum under the Section 232 Steel and Aluminum Duties established by the Exclusions Proclamations. It authorizes the Secretary to include additional derivative steel or aluminum articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer of steel or aluminum articles or derivative articles within the United States, or an industry association representing one or more such producers. Applications for the inclusion of derivative articles must establish that imports of a derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the 2018 Section 232 investigations or any Proclamations issued pursuant thereto. The Inclusions Proclamations direct that the Secretary of Commerce shall issue a determination on any such request within 60 days of its receipt by the Department.

As the President has decided to adjust imports and allow inclusion requests, BIS will need OMBâs clearances to collect the information that would be required for parties to request inclusions.
