CBP Updates Guidance on Importing Goods Exempt From Section 232 Tariffs

CBP updated its guidance on how importers of goods excluded from Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum should file, to include information about the 232 exclusions portal (see 1906060060). "Importers and filers importing products granted an exclusion should submit the product exclusion number based on the exclusion Request ID using the 232 Exclusion Portal at https://232app.azurewebsites.net/steelalum," CBP said. The agency also provided some new information about quota exclusions that wasn't in the previous guidance released last year (see 1811080015). "Filers are to submit the applicable Chapter 99 HTSUS number i.e. 99038060 for steel articles and 99038511 for aluminum articles," it said. "Do NOT submit 99038061, which expired on March 31, 2019 and is NO LONGER applicable."
