Section 232 tariffs: steel, aluminum, copper, autos, trucks, lumber, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 lets the President adjust imports that threaten national security. It started with steel and aluminum in 2018 and now covers seven product groups: steel, aluminum and copper and their derivatives, Russian aluminum, autos and auto parts, medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, timber, lumber, furniture and cabinets, certain semiconductors, and patented pharmaceuticals. Each group has its own Chapter 99 headings and rates, and several countries pay lower rates under trade agreements. The duty applies by product, whatever the origin, and is added to the MFN rate.

§ II · AFFECTED HTS
Section 232 coverage is defined by the product lists in each U.S. note and in CBP’s annexes, not by footnotes on HTS lines, so the HTS snapshot links no rows to these headings. To check a product, run its HTS code and origin in the calculator, or read the annex named in the CBP CSMS for its group.
§ III · LEGAL BASIS
Authority: 19 U.S.C. § 1862 (Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Section 232), implemented by Presidential Proclamation for each product group.

§ IV · FAQ
Which products does Section 232 cover in 2026?
Steel, aluminum and copper and many of their derivatives (9903.82), Russian aluminum (9903.85), passenger vehicles, light trucks and auto parts (9903.94), medium- and heavy-duty trucks, their parts and buses (9903.74), softwood lumber, upholstered wooden furniture and kitchen cabinets and vanities (9903.76), certain advanced semiconductors (9903.79) and, from September 29, 2026, patented pharmaceuticals (9903.04.60–.69).
How are steel, aluminum and copper duties charged since April 6, 2026?
The current structure under 9903.82 charges the duty on the full customs value of the covered article, at 50% for most articles and 10%, 15% or 25% for some derivative, copper and UK goods, depending on the article’s column 1 rate and the subdivision of U.S. note 16 it falls under. CBP CSMS 68253075 lists the filing instructions.
Does Section 232 stack with Section 301 and the forced-labor duty?
Section 232 is added on top of the MFN rate and of Section 301 on China-origin goods. Goods covered by the Section 232 provisions listed in U.S. note 52(f) are exempt from the Section 301 forced-labor duty (9903.05.90), so the two do not stack on that content. From February 24 to July 23, 2026, Section 232 goods were also excepted from the Section 122 surcharge.
Do trade agreements lower Section 232 rates?
Yes, for some products and countries. The HTS sets lower or combined rates for the UK, Japan, the EU, South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland and Liechtenstein in several groups; each row of the heading list below names the country and the U.S. note subdivision that applies.
