Commerce Department introduces tariff reduction process
The Bureau of Industry and Security publishes a Federal Register notice establishing a pathway for Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum producers to reduce the Section 232 tariff from 50% to 25% by committing to U.S. capacity expansion and accepting rigorous compliance reporting.
A new Commerce program slashes the Section 232 tariff on Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum from 50% to 25% for the auto supply chain, but only for producers that commit to verifiable U.S. capacity expansion. Rigorous record-keeping and milestone reporting are mandatory, with the risk of full tariff snapback if compliance falters.
