TheU.S.Department of Commercethis week posted thelist ofSection 232 steel and aluminuminclusion requests submittedby 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 roundof inclusion requests - with the first windowbeginning inMay. NMMA encourages members to review the list of codesand notify NMMAif you import any products, components, or partsunder the newly identified HTS codes. NMMA plans to file comments opposing certain inclusion requests, which are due October 21.
The administration establishedthe inclusion process to allow domestic aluminum and steel producers to advocate for additionalHTS codes and products to be subject to the 50% tariff on aluminum and steel derivative products. A thirdinclusion 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.
