On December 14, 2020, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce published Federal Register revised aspects of Commerce’s process for requesting product exclusions from Section 232 measures on steel and aluminum imports, and issuing 123 new Section 232 exclusions.
The new exclusions are called General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) and remove 123 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifications (108 GAEs for steel products and 15 GAEs for aluminum products) from the Section 232 measures.
GAEs may be used by any importer and have no quantitative limit.
Exclusions are effective starting December 29, 2020, and no retroactive relief will be granted.
