Section 232 Inclusion Request - Nucor Corporation

A type 232 measure refers to action under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. It addresses imports that the U.S. government has determined threaten or impair national security, and it may apply to particular products, materials, or countries. The attached file name alone does not identify the covered merchandise, so the official measure details and product scope must be reviewed.

For an importer, the key issue is whether the goods fall within the measure’s defined product scope and tariff classification. A measure may impose an additional duty, establish an exemption or quota process, or require other entry treatment. The relevant professional terms include HTSUS classification, additional duty, country of origin, exclusion, exemption, quota, and scope. These requirements can affect landed cost, entry filing, documentation, and compliance responsibility.

What to check

• Confirm the measure’s official product scope, including any technical descriptions, HTSUS subheadings, and inclusion or exclusion rules.
• Verify the product’s correct HTSUS classification and country of origin; do not rely only on a supplier’s code or product name.
• Check whether the measure requires an additional Chapter 99 reporting provision, separate entry line, quota treatment, exclusion, or exemption documentation.
• Review the applicable customs instructions and official agency notices for the entry date and shipment facts, without assuming that a similar product receives the same treatment.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to confirm classification, scope, origin, and any available exclusion or exemption when the product is mixed, processed, or borderline.
