Section 232 Inclusion Request - NADCA 1

“BIS 2025 0023 0679” appears to be an identifying label for a US trade measure classified as type “232.” The term “232” generally refers to action under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, a national-security trade authority. Such measures can impose additional duties, quotas, or other import requirements on specified products, depending on the official measure and its scope.

These measures typically affect importers whose goods match listed HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) classifications, product descriptions, countries of origin, or other stated conditions. The label alone does not establish that a product is covered. An importer must compare the product’s correct tariff classification and origin with the official measure, and check whether exclusions, quota procedures, or special filing instructions apply. Classification or origin questions may require a customs broker or trade attorney.

What to check

• Confirm the product’s complete HTSUS classification, including any required statistical suffix, rather than relying only on a supplier’s description.
• Read the official 232 measure’s scope carefully: check covered products, product form, country of origin, entry type, and any stated exclusions or exceptions.
• Determine whether the measure requires an additional duty, quota treatment, exemption claim, license, certification, or special entry data.
• Verify origin under US customs rules; the country of export is not always the country of origin.
• Have a customs broker or trade specialist review uncertain classification, origin, exclusion, or quota issues before filing the entry.
