Important Update on Section 232 Steel & Aluminum Tariffs – New CBP FAQs Posted


U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has recently updated its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page related to the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum. These updates provide new guidance and clarification that may impact how your company handles the importation of affected products.

We encourage all members involved in importing steel or aluminum parts to review the updated CBP FAQ page, which can be accessed here:

🔗 CBP Section 232 Tariffs on Aluminum and Steel – FAQ

This is a valuable resource for understanding tariff applicability, filing requirements, exclusions, and compliance expectations.

For additional guidance, members are also encouraged to review the recent webinar by international trade attorney Peter Quinter, which remains available on-demand through the ABPA member portal. Peter provided a clear and practical overview of Section 232 issues, including strategies to avoid unnecessary costs and ensure regulatory compliance. Those who wish to reach out directly to Attorney Quinter for engagement can do so on his website.
