In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on April 3, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued guidance on additional aluminum derivative products subject to Section 232 duties.

This guidance reviews the 25% ad valorem tariffs on all imports of aluminum derivative articles from all countries that came into effect on March 12, 2025. This guidance also applies to beer and empty aluminum cans that were added to the aluminum derivative list on April 4, 2025.

The guidance provides entry filing instructions, including a review of the applicable chapter 99 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications, smelt and cast reporting requirements, and duties for aluminum from Russia.

No drawback shall be available for these aluminum derivative duties.

Any Aluminum articles or derivative articles may only be admitted into a foreign trade zone under “privileged foreign status” and will be subject to these additional duty rates; unless the product is eligible for admission under “domestic status.”
