Question: We are wanting to submit some Section 232 exclusion requests for various sizes of a particular steel. We are wondering if it’s better to submit 1 request to make sure it is processed properly before submitting the other requests or is it better to submit all of the requests at once? Answer 1: Some […]
Question: My questions relate to whether I can avoid paying Section 301 tariffs on the non-China origin components of an an import from China. Classification comes into play as well. I think I know the answer, which I don’t like, but I am going to ask the question anyway. We are importing, from China, a […]
Question: How are section 232 exclusions “claimed” on an entry? Is an HTS code used that references the exclusion, or is there some process in ACE/broker software for claiming the exclusion without it showing up on the 7501? CSMS #39633923 does not really explain it. I ask because we have a customer telling us there […]
Question: We have two section 232 exclusion requests that have been pending, without objection, since May 2022; two other requests that were submitted at the same time were approved. We were asked to provide additional information on the volumes requested and to re-confirm if we are the actual manufacturer- which was provided in October 2022. […]

Question: When 232 first started, I did a bunch of exclusion requests and they were all granted. But then I stopped doing them for awhile. Recently, a friend applied for several and CBP asked her for proof of purchase orders before they’d grant the request. I’d never seen that before. Is that a new request? […]
QUESTION: Since the 232 and 301 tariffs are for different reasons, it seems to reason that if something is steel and has a 232 HTS and also has an HTS in list 4A and is being sourced out of China, then it would be subject to both tariffs. However, a friend said that this isn’t […]
QUESTION: Does anyone have some good insight to share on how their company is managing section 232 exclusions? This process has not been managed well in my company and we’ve found we exceeded some of the exclusions and now owe duty. I’m looking at different ways to handle this but am curious as to how […]
QUESTION: Can anyone in the membership comment on the current overall status of section 232 refunds? In the beginning, the checks were consistent. Now, they seem to be very slow and not on any type of schedule at all. I understand that Covid 19 could be affecting this, as it has so many other things….. […]

QUESTION: if an item would be subject to additional duties under Section 232, but it is a return and 9801 also applies, if I import it under 9801, would the additional 232 duties apply? I think NO, right? Because 232 is oriented on the declared HTS number? ************** Answers: The answer is found in CBP […]
QUESTION: Our Sec 232 protest was denied due to an incorrect IOR on the entry documents. We were granted approval for our Section 232 requests, however they were specific to one IOR. We understand that we are able to amend the Section 232 Exclusion Application with the proper IOR, however I wanted to know if […]
