Companies that import Japanese steel under exclusions that spare them from having to pay 25% tariffs will be filling tariff rate quotas when they bring the goods in, the Commerce Department confirmed. The department's initial release said exclusions would continue, but was silent on whether they would count against the quota (see 2202070064). Under the European Union deal, excluded products did not count toward the tariff rate quotas.
Correction: Goods imported under Section 232 tariff exclusions count toward quota amounts under an agreement to set tariff rate quotas on Japanese steel (see 2202070064).
The Bureau of Industry and Security is asking for comments on the Section 232 exclusion process, including the request, objection, rebuttal and surrebuttal process, the standards of review, transparency of the process, and General Approved Exclusions. Officials are particularly interested in hearing ideas about how to reduce the volume of submission errors and rejected filings in the exclusions portal; whether reducing the length or type of attachments could speed the processing of requests; whether there should be a public summary of confidential business information underpinning exclusion requests or objections; whether there should be public disclosure of delivery times in requests or objections; whether evidence supporting requests or objections should have to be from the last 90 days; and how to streamline the online forms. Comments should be filed at regulations.gov, docket number BIS-2021-0042, by March 28.
