CBP Updates Section 232 Steel and Aluminum FAQ

Posted by Timothy Miller on 3/24/25 5:00 PM

In an update published on March 21, 2005, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided an updated Section 232 Steel and Aluminum Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to the trade.

The FAQ now includes a new “Additional Section 232 Questions” section with information on:

  • What is the proper method to submit entries for products that do not contain steel or aluminum content, and are not subject to Section 232 measures, but still require the steel melt and pour and aluminum smelt and cast information to be reported?
  • Can filers report a unit of measure of less than 1?
  • Does CBP require an aluminum certificate of analysis to be filed at the time of entry?
  • How to determine the value of aluminum or steel content for derivative products outside of CH. 76 or 73?
  • How are the Section 232 duties assessed in respect to “sets” covered by the Section 232 duty?
