Adjusting Imports of Steel into The United States – The White House

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

On January 11, 2018, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) transmitted to me a report on the Secretary’s investigation into the impact of imports of metal mill articles (metal articles) on the nationwide safety of the US below part 232 of the Commerce Growth Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862) (part 232). The Secretary discovered and suggested me of his opinion that metal articles are being imported into the US in such portions and below such circumstances as to threaten to impair the nationwide safety of the US.
In Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US), I concurred within the Secretary’s discovering that metal articles, as outlined in clause 1 of Proclamation 9705 (as amended by clause 8 of Proclamation 9711 of March 22, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US)), are being imported into the US in such portions and below such circumstances as to threaten to impair the nationwide safety of the US, and determined to regulate the imports of metal articles by imposing a 25 % advert valorem tariff on such articles imported from most nations. Proclamation 9705 additional acknowledged that any nation with which the US has a safety relationship is welcome to debate alternative routes to handle the threatened impairment of the nationwide safety attributable to imports from that nation, and famous that, ought to the US and that nation arrive at a passable various means to handle the menace to the nationwide safety such that the President determines that imports from that nation now not threaten to impair the nationwide safety, I’ll take away or modify the restriction on metal articles imports from that nation and, if mandatory, regulate the tariff because it applies to different nations, because the nationwide safety pursuits of the US require.
In Proclamation 9705, I additionally directed the Secretary to observe imports of metal articles and inform me of any circumstances that within the Secretary‘s opinion would possibly point out the necessity for additional motion below Part 232, as amended, with respect to such imports. Pursuant to Proclamation 9705, the Secretary was licensed to offer aid from the extra duties, primarily based on a request from a immediately affected occasion positioned in the US, for any metal article decided to not be produced in the US in a enough and fairly obtainable quantity or of a passable high quality, or primarily based upon particular nationwide safety concerns.

In subsequent proclamations, I famous the conclusion of discussions or the settlement on sure measures with the Argentine Republic (Argentina), Proclamation 9759 of Might 31, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); the Commonwealth of Australia (Australia), Proclamation 9759; the Federative Republic of Brazil (Brazil), Proclamation 9759; Proclamation 10064 of August 28, 2020 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); Canada, Proclamation 9894 of Might 19, 2019 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US; the United Mexican States (Mexico), Proclamation 9894; and the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Proclamation 9740 of April 30, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US). President Biden famous the conclusion of discussions or the settlement on sure measures with the European Union (EU) on behalf of its member nations, Proclamation 10328 of December 27, 2021 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); Proclamation 10691 of December 28, 2023 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); Japan, Proclamation 10356 of March 31, 2022 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); and the UK (UK), Proclamation 10406 of Might 31, 2022 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US), on alternative routes to handle the menace to the nationwide safety. As well as, then-President Biden acknowledged the shut relationship with Ukraine and exempted metal articles from Ukraine from the tariff. Proclamation 10403 of Might 27, 2022 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); Proclamation 10588 of Might 31, 2023 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US); Proclamation 10771 of Might 31, 2024 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US). In Proclamation 10783 of July 10, 2024 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US), President Biden famous that imports of metal articles from Mexico had elevated considerably as in comparison with their ranges on the time of Proclamation 9894. Accordingly, he carried out a soften and pour requirement for imports of metal articles which are merchandise of Mexico and elevated the part 232 obligation charge for imports of metal articles and spinoff metal articles which are merchandise of Mexico which are melted and poured in a rustic apart from Mexico, Canada, or the US.

The Secretary has knowledgeable me that the preliminary 25 % advert valorem tariff imposed by Proclamation 9705 has been an efficient technique of decreasing imports, encouraging funding and enlargement of manufacturing by home metal producers, and mitigating the threatened impairment of U.S. nationwide safety. Following the preliminary imposition of 25 % advert valorem tariffs, the U.S. metal capability utilization charge elevated to above 80 %.
The Secretary has additionally knowledgeable me that, however the impression of the tariff imposed by Proclamation 9705, imports of metal articles from sure nations exempted from the tariff or topic to various agreements have elevated considerably, whereas extra capability within the world metal trade has begun to extend once more lately. For instance, imports from Canada elevated 18 % since Canada was excluded from the part 232 tariffs. In response to the Group for Financial Cooperation and Growth (OECD), world metal extra capability is projected to succeed in roughly 630 million metric tons by 2026, greater than complete metal manufacturing in all OECD nations. On the similar time, exports of metal from the Individuals’s Republic of China (China) have not too long ago surged, exceeding 114 million metric tons by means of November 2024 whereas displacing manufacturing in different nations and forcing them to export better volumes of metal articles and spinoff metal articles to the US.
Complete metal imports as a share of U.S. consumption elevated considerably in 2024, reaching almost 30 %, just like the import share of U.S. consumption on the time the Secretary issued his January 11, 2018, report. Imports from nations with which the US has reached various agreements have elevated considerably as a share of complete imports, from 74 % in 2018 to 82 % in 2024, whereas imports from nations topic to quantitative restrictions stay elevated no matter altering U.S. demand circumstances and the substantial investments made to increase the capabilities of the home trade. Rising and persistently excessive import volumes from nations exempted from the duties or topic to different various agreements like quotas and tariff-rate quotas have captured the good thing about U.S. demand on the home trade’s expense and transmitted dangerous results onto the home trade. As metal import market share has elevated, the home trade’s efficiency has been depressed, leading to capability utilization charges persistently decrease than the 80 % goal degree highlighted within the Secretary’s report.
The Secretary has knowledgeable me that imports of metal articles from Canada and Mexico have elevated considerably to ranges that when once more threaten to impair U.S. nationwide safety. Volumes from each Canada and Mexico elevated general, from 7.77 million metric tons in 2020 to 9.14 million metric tons in 2024. Imports have additionally surged in extra of historic norms of commerce throughout quite a few key product traces, similar to lengthy reinforcing bars, which have skilled import will increase of 1,678 % from Mexico and 564 % from Canada. These surges have occurred whereas authorities in these nations have supported in any other case uncompetitive producers with subsidies and different interventions which have exacerbated the worldwide extra capability disaster. As well as, rising import volumes and together with Mexico’s imports from China, assist a conclusion that there’s transshipment or additional processing of metal mill articles from nations that stay topic to the extra advert valorem tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705, or from nations looking for to evade quantitative restrictions.
The Secretary has additionally knowledgeable me that various agreements with buying and selling companions together with Australia, the members of the EU, Japan, and the UK have been much less efficient in eliminating the threatened impairment of U.S. nationwide safety than the extra advert valorem tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705. Because of this, imports of metal articles from these nations have elevated as a share of complete U.S. metal imports from 18.6 % in 2020 to twenty.7 % in 2024. As well as, from 2022 to 2024, imports from nations topic to quotas (Argentina, Brazil, and South Korea) elevated by roughly 1.5 million metric tons, whilst U.S. demand declined by greater than 6.1 million tons throughout the interval. Argentina has continued to export metal to the US at unsustainable portions, particularly a latest surge of semifinished merchandise. Moreover, Argentina’s lack of knowledge transparency has continued to be of concern for the US. From official commerce statistics launched by Argentina, it’s tough to evaluate the degrees of metal being imported from locations like China and Russia, and different potential sources of extra capability. Brazilian imports from nations with significant ranges of overcapacity, particularly China have grown tremendously lately, greater than tripling for the reason that establishment of this quota association.
On the similar time, these various agreements haven’t resulted in enough motion by these buying and selling companions to handle non-market extra capability brought about primarily by China, or enough cooperation by these buying and selling companions on points like commerce treatments and customs issues or monitoring bilateral metal commerce. Some nations have additionally welcomed metal trade investments from non-market producers in nations like China looking for to take advantage of the agreements to acquire preferential entry to the U.S. market. The agreements have subsequently been detrimental to U.S. metal manufacturing and nationwide safety.
The Secretary has knowledgeable me of comparable issues with respect to the momentary exemption for imports of metal articles and spinoff metal articles from Ukraine. Reasonably than supporting the Ukrainian metal trade and assuaging the financial hurt attributable to the continued battle, the advantages of this momentary exemption have accrued primarily to producers in EU member nations, which have considerably elevated duty-free exports to the U.S. market of metal articles processed from Ukrainian semi-finished metal. Since 2021, imports from Ukraine have remained regular at 0.5 % of complete U.S. imports, whereas imports from the European Union have elevated 11.2 % to 14.8 %. On account of the momentary exemption, these imports enter the U.S. market topic to neither the advert valorem tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705, nor the tariff-rate-quota system relevant to different imports of metal articles from EU producers as proclaimed in Proclamation 10328. This has facilitated evasion of each the part 232 measures and of antidumping duties that might be paid if the completed merchandise had been imported immediately from Ukraine.
The Secretary has knowledgeable me that producers in nations that stay topic to this system have continued to evade the measures by processing lined metal articles into further downstream metal spinoff merchandise that weren’t included within the further advert valorem tariffs proclaimed in Proclamation 9705 and Proclamation 9980 of January 24, 2020 (Adjusting Imports of By-product Aluminum Articles and By-product Metal Articles Into the US). Imports of merchandise similar to fabricated structural metal, prestressed concrete strand, and others, have elevated considerably for the reason that issuance of Proclamation 9705 and Proclamation 9980, eroding the home trade’s buyer base and leading to depressed demand for metal articles produced in the US.
The Secretary has additionally knowledgeable me of sure ongoing challenges with the product exclusion course of licensed by Proclamation 9705, Proclamation 9777 of August 29, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Metal Into the US), and Proclamation 9980 and carried out by subsequent laws. This course of has resulted in exclusions for a big quantity of imports, in a way that undermines the aim of the part 232 measures and threatens to impair nationwide safety. Sure normal accepted exclusions stay in impact for complete tariff traces of metal articles, however the home trade’s potential to provide many excluded merchandise.
I decide that these developments and modifications to the tariffs introduced in Proclamation 9705 have undermined this system’s nationwide safety goals by stopping the home metal trade from reaching sustained manufacturing capability utilization of at the least 80 %, as decided mandatory within the Secretary’s report of January 11, 2018. I additionally decide that they’ve failed to attain their articulated goals. Because of this, I decide that they’ve resulted in considerably rising imports of metal articles that threaten to impair the nationwide safety.
In mild of the Secretary’s findings concerning the choice agreements with South Korea proclaimed in Proclamation 9740; Argentina, Australia, and Brazil proclaimed in Proclamation 9759; Canada and Mexico proclaimed in Proclamation 9894; EU nations proclaimed in Proclamation 10328; Japan proclaimed in Proclamation 10356; and the UK proclaimed in Proclamation 10406, I’ve revisited the determinations in these proclamations. In my judgment, the preparations with these nations have failed to offer efficient, long-term various means to handle these nations’ contribution to the threatened impairment to the nationwide safety by restraining metal articles exports to the US from every of them, limiting transshipment and surges and distorted pricing, and discouraging extra metal capability and extra metal manufacturing. Thus, I’ve decided that metal articles imports from these nations threaten to impair the nationwide safety, and I’ve determined that it’s essential to terminate these preparations as of March 12, 2025. As of that date, all imports of metal articles and spinoff metal articles from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, EU nations, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and the UK shall be topic to the extra advert valorem tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705 with respect to metal articles and Proclamation 9980 with respect to spinoff metal articles. In my judgment, these modifications are mandatory to handle the considerably rising share of imports of metal articles and spinoff metal articles from these sources, which threaten to impair U.S. nationwide safety. Changing the choice agreements with the extra advert valorem tariffs might be a extra strong and efficient technique of guaranteeing that the goals articulated within the Secretary’s January 11, 2018, report and subsequent proclamations are achieved.
For a similar causes, I’ve additionally revisited the determinations in Proclamation 10403, Proclamation 10558, and Proclamation 10771. In my judgment, the association with Ukraine has failed to offer efficient, long-term various means to handle Ukraine’s contribution to the threatened impairment to our nationwide safety by restraining metal articles exports to the US from Ukraine, limiting transshipment and surges, and discouraging extra metal capability and extra metal manufacturing. Thus, I’ve decided that metal articles imports from Ukraine threaten to impair the nationwide safety and have decided that it’s essential to terminate the momentary exemption for imports of metal articles and spinoff metal articles from Ukraine as proclaimed in Proclamation 10403, Proclamation 10558, and Proclamation 10771. In my judgment, terminating this exemption will stop abuses which have resulted in considerably rising imports from sources apart from Ukraine, will stop evasion of antidumping duties, and can assist the home metal trade with out harming Ukraine’s financial restoration.
In mild of the knowledge supplied by the Secretary that considerably rising imports of sure spinoff metal articles have depressed demand for metal articles produced by home metal producers, I’ve decided that it’s mandatory and acceptable in mild of U.S. nationwide safety pursuits to regulate the tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705 and Proclamation 9980 to use to further spinoff metal articles. As of March 12, 2025, the extra spinoff metal articles lined by this proclamation, as set out in Annex I to this proclamation, shall be topic to the advert valorem duties proclaimed in Proclamation 9705 and Proclamation 9980, aside from spinoff metal articles processed abroad from metal articles that had been melted and poured in the US. For any spinoff metal article recognized in Annex I that isn’t in Chapter 73 of the HTSUS, the extra advert valorem obligation shall apply solely to the metal content material of the spinoff metal article. The Secretary shall publish a discover within the Federal Register to this impact, together with Annex I to this proclamation.
The Secretary has knowledgeable me that his findings with regard to the product exclusion course of current circumstances that within the Secretary’s opinion point out the necessity for additional motion by the President below part 232. Accordingly, as of the date of this proclamation the Secretary is now not licensed to offer aid from the extra duties set forth in clause 2 of Proclamation 9705 for any metal article decided to not be produced in the US in a enough and fairly obtainable quantity or a passable high quality or primarily based on particular nationwide safety determinations, and the product exclusion course of as licensed in clause 3 of Proclamation 9705, clause 1 of Proclamation 9777, and clause 2 of Proclamation 9980 is terminated, efficient instantly. I’ve decided that terminating product exclusions is important to make sure that overly broad exclusions don’t enable excessive volumes of imports to undermine the goals articulated within the Secretary’s January 11, 2018, report and related subsequent proclamations. This transformation will even relieve the executive burden that the method has created. Following this proclamation, and topic to any restrictions set forth in or pursuant to different provisions of relevant regulation, imports of any metal article or spinoff metal article from any supply and in any amount might be obtainable to U.S. importers, supplied that the extra advert valorem tariffs are paid upon entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
Part 232 of the Commerce Growth Act of 1962, as amended, authorizes the President to take motion to regulate the imports of an article and its derivatives if the President concurs with the Secretary’s discovering that the article is being imported into the US in such portions or below such circumstances as to threaten to impair the nationwide safety.
Part 604 of the Commerce Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the president to embody within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US (HTSUS) the substance of statutes affecting import therapy, and actions thereunder, together with the elimination, modification, continuance, or imposition of any charge of obligation or different import restriction.

20. America will monitor the implementation and effectiveness of those actions in addressing our nationwide safety wants, and I’ll revisit this dedication, as acceptable.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the US of America, by the authority vested in me by the Structure and the legal guidelines of the US of America, together with part 301 of title 3, United States Code, part 604 of the Commerce Act of 1974, as amended, and part 232 of the Commerce Growth Act of 1962, as amended, do hereby proclaim as follows:
