Dear Valued Customer,
A recent notice was published in the Federal Register that the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule revising the Section 232 exclusions process and how exclusions can be requested. This will eliminate 12 general approved exclusions (GAEs) for steel and aluminum products. The changes in this final rule are also informed by public comments on proposed rule on the Section 232 exclusion process that was published by BIS on August 23, 2023.
6 GAEs for steel: GAE.24.S: 7211296080; GAE.43.S: 7209900000; GAE.46.S: 7216330090; GAE.84.S: 7209270000; GAE.90.S: 7216100010; and GAE.93.S: 7208380015 and
6 GAEs for aluminum: GAE.1.A: 7609000000; GAE.4.A: 7604210010; GAE.5.A: 7604291010; GAE.9.A: 7601209080; GAE.10.A: 7607116010; and GAE.13.A: 7604295090.
“The steel and aluminum articles specified by these 12 GAEs will revert to the duties and treatment previously established under Presidential Proclamations 9704 and 9705 as well as subsequent Proclamations,” BIS said.
