50% Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum. Country-specific rates. Derivative product coverage. The most impactful tariff regime in the HTS — managed automatically.
Rates increased by Presidential Proclamation effective March 12, 2025. All prior quotas and exclusions terminated.
Steel from China: base MFN (Free-6%) + Section 301 (25%) + Section 232 (50%) + Section 122 (10%). Total can exceed 90% for some products. Our calculator stacks automatically.
Section 232 doesn't just cover raw steel and aluminum. Articles made of steel or aluminum may also be subject if they fall within the covered HTS codes. Classification determines whether the tariff applies.
Even USMCA-qualifying steel from Canada or Mexico faces Section 232 duties. Mexico steel gets a reduced 25% rate and Canada aluminum gets 10%, but they are not exempt.
The Section 232 rate depends on where the steel/aluminum was melted and poured (for steel) or smelted (for aluminum). Substantial transformation in a third country does not change the Section 232 country of origin.
Calculate total steel/aluminum duties with automatic Section 232 rate selection by country. All layers stacked: MFN + 232 + 301 + 122.
Compare total steel/aluminum duties by origin country. See exactly how switching from China to India, Turkey, or Brazil affects your landed cost.
