Section 232 National Security Investigation of Steel Imports
Information on the Exclusion Process
Background
On March 8, 2018, President Trump exercised his authority under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to impose a 25 percent tariff on steel imports, with exemptions for Canada and Mexico, to protect our national security. The President’s Section 232 decision is the result of an investigation led by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). U.S. Customs and Border Protection began collecting the tariffs on March 23, 2018.
In President Trump’s proclamation establishing the tariff under Section 232, the President authorized the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with other appropriate federal agency heads, to provide relief from the additional duties for any steel articles determined "not to be produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory quality and is also authorized to provide such relief based upon specific national security considerations. Such relief shall be provided for any article only after a request for exclusion is made by a directly affected party located in the United States

U.S. to lift Trump-era tariff on Japanese steel
UPDATED ON: FEBRUARY 8, 2022
The United States and Japan have reached an agreement to ease the tariff on steel imports imposed by the Trump administration. Under the agreement, the U.S. will permit 1.25 million metric tons of steel to enter the U.S. from Japan each year duty-free. This comes after President Joe Biden last year directed the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to work with their Japanese counterparts to find a solution to the tariff issue.
