Updated Steel/Aluminum Tariff Information

On 12:01am on March 12th, the new steel and aluminum tariffs will be in effect. Many questions revolve are the derivative products, as getting steel/aluminum content will be challenging for importers.  Nevertheless, going forward the new normal looks like providing the composition of products and, if a mixed composition, what are the percentages/units of measure of each?  At the moment, there is no official form (or unit of measure) for reporting the quantities for products with mixed compositions.

Key take-away:

“If the value of the steel/aluminum content is the same as the entered value or is unknown, the duty must be reported under HTS 9903.81.91/9903.85.08 based on the entire entered value, and report on only one entry summary line.”
