Section 232 Inclusion Request - AMBA 7

A measure identified as “BIS 2025 0023 0649” and marked type 232 is associated with Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Section 232 measures address imports that the U.S. government determines may affect national security. They can apply through an additional duty, tariff treatment, quota, or another import requirement, depending on the official measure and product scope.

These measures typically affect importers of specified goods, materials, components, or derivative products identified by Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) provisions, product descriptions, country-of-origin rules, and effective-entry requirements. The identifier alone does not determine whether a shipment is covered. Importers must match the merchandise to the measure’s scope and confirm the applicable customs reporting and payment treatment. Because classification and scope decisions can be technical, a customs broker or trade professional may be needed.

What to check

• Read the official measure details and confirm whether your exact product description and HTSUS classification are within scope.
• Verify the product’s country of origin and any rules for substantial transformation, because Section 232 treatment can depend on origin.
• Check whether the measure covers derivative products, parts, components, or only specified primary goods.
• Confirm the relevant entry date, customs reporting instructions, and whether any exclusion, quota, exemption, or special documentation applies.
• Ask a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to review uncertain classification or scope questions before entry.
