U.S. revisions of Section 232 steel and aluminum tariff exclusions process

The final rule removes 12 General Approved Exclusions (GAEs).

May 17, 2024

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce today released a final rule that revises the process for requesting exclusions from the duties and quantitative limitations on imports of aluminum and steel.

The final rule—effective July 1, 2024—removes 12 General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) that were added in the December 2020 rule and maintained through the December 2021 rule, consisting of six GAEs for steel and six GAEs for aluminum. The steel and aluminum articles specified by these 12 GAEs will revert to the duties and treatment previously established under presidential proclamations.

The changes are informed by public comments on a proposed rule on the Section 232 exclusions process that was published by BIS in August 2023.
