Official record excerpt
Proclamation 11032 of June 1, 2026 Further Adjusting the Tariff Regimes for Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States A Proclamation 1. In Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended; Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), as amended; and Proclamation 10962 of July 30, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Copper Into the United States), as amended, I found, under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1862 (section 232), that aluminum, steel, and copper are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and took action under section 232 to adjust imports of aluminum, steel, and copper articles and their derivative articles (collectively, metal products) so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security. Specifically, to address the national security threats found in Proclamation 9704, Proclamation 9705, and Proclamation 10962, I established tariff regimes, which included imposing additional ad valorem duties on certain imports of metal products. 2. In Proclamation 11021 of April 2, 2026 (Strengthening Actions Taken To Adjust Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States), I modified the tariff regimes established under section 232 for imports of metal products to more effectively address the national security threats found in Proclamation 9704, Proclamation 9705, and Proclamation 10962. In particular, I imposed an ad valorem duty of 50 percent on products made of those metals; an ad valorem duty of 25 percent on derivative products that tend to be predominately composed of those metals; and a temporarily-reduced ad valorem duty of 15 percent on a subset of derivative products, namely fixed industrial machinery and power equipment. 3. Based on the Secretary of Commerce's (Secretary) monitoring and consultation with other senior officials, among other things, the Secretary has provided me information, opinions, and recommendations regarding the tariff regimes imposed in Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10962, as amended, and the national security threats found in those proclamations. Among other things, the Secretary has informed me that recent circumstances have affected and are affecting domestic industries that use agricultural equipment, industrial equipment and machinery, and other related products. Many products in these categories are treated as derivative articles of aluminum or steel because they tend to be predominantly composed of aluminum or steel. These products also serve an important role in productive domestic economic activity. For example, American farmers use agricultural equipment to produce the food upon which our Nation relies; construction equipment is essential for the continued reindustrialization of our Nation; and material-handling equipment enables industrial logistics and factory operations. 4. To account for these circumstances, the Secretary recommended that I modify the tariffs imposed on these products pursuant to Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended. In particular, the Secretary recommended that I expand the category of derivative products ( printed page 34086) subject to the temporarily-reduced 15 percent ad valorem duty to include agricultural equipment and certain heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and components that are predominately for residential use, which are currently treated as aluminum or steel derivative products. The Secretary also recommended that I temporarily modify the tariffs imposed on mobile industrial equipment and machinery to support the American businesses and factories that use these products. 5. In addition, the Secretary has recommended that I include two types of aluminum and steel products (aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks) that are not currently subject to aluminum and steel tariffs within the product coverage of Proclamation 11021, to ensure that they are subject to the appropriate tariffs for aluminum and steel derivative products and to ensure that the purpose of the tariff regimes to address the national security threats found in Proclamation 9704 and Proclamation 9705 are not undermined. The Secretary also recommended that I modify the threshold for imported products to qualify as made “entirely” from American aluminum, steel, or copper, as that term is used in Proclamation 11021. 6. After considering the current information, opinions, and recommendations newly provided

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
