BIS Adds 11 New Steel Derivatives to 50% Section 232 Tariffs Beginning June 23

The Bureau of Industry and Security is adding several new subheadings, largely covering household appliances, to the list of derivatives subject to 50% Section 232 tariffs on steel, it said in a notice. The additions, which take effect 12:01 a.m. ET June 23, including subheadings 8418.10.00; 8418.30.00; 8418.40.00; 8422.11.00; 8450.11.00; 8450.20.00; 8451.21.00; 8451.29.00; 8509.80.20; 8516.60.40; and 9403.99.9020.

Those subheadings cover refrigerator-freezers; dryers; washing machines; dishwashers; chest and upright freezers; cooking stoves; ranges and ovens; food waste disposals; and welded wire rack. They are nearly identical to the subheadings CBP erroneously included in a CSMS message June 3, with the addition of subheading 8509.80.20 that wasn’t in the CSMS message.
