On February 10, 2025, the President
issued Proclamation 10895 “Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into the
United States”, and Proclamation 10896 “Adjusting Imports of Steel
into the United States” 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.
