Section 232 Inclusion Request - LZ Tool and Engineering

A type 232 measure is a U.S. action under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. It addresses imports that the government determines may affect national security. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers or publishes many related requirements, which can involve additional duties, quotas, exclusions, product coverage, or special entry procedures. The identifier “BIS 2025 0023 0705” is a reference label; do not treat the label alone as proof that a particular product is covered.

These measures typically affect importers, manufacturers, distributors, and foreign suppliers whose goods fall within the stated product scope, often based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classification and the product’s characteristics or origin. A covered product may incur a trade-remedy duty in addition to ordinary customs duty, or may be subject to a quota or an approved exclusion. The importer of record is generally responsible for making a correct entry and paying applicable amounts, so product classification, country of origin, and the measure’s coverage must be verified carefully.

What to check

• Read the official measure text and product scope, including any listed HTSUS subheadings and technical descriptions; do not rely on the reference title alone.
• Confirm the product’s HTSUS classification, material, composition, dimensions, and intended use with the applicable classification guidance; seek a customs broker or binding ruling when classification is uncertain.
• Verify the country of origin and any rules that determine whether the measure applies, especially for goods processed in more than one country.
• Check whether the measure uses an additional duty, quota, tariff-rate quota, exclusion, certification, or special reporting requirement, and follow the stated entry instructions.
• Review current official CBP, BIS, and HTSUS information before filing, because coverage, exclusions, and entry procedures can change.
