For such products, steel and aluminum tariffs based on Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) will apply to the steel and aluminum content. The non-steel and non-aluminum content will remain subject to the reciprocal and other applicable tariffs. For 60 HTSUS codes, BIS has decided not to include them as steel and aluminum derivative products at this time, because they are subject to other ongoing investigations pursuant to Section 232 or other trade statutes. The complete list of HTSUS codes added to the Section 232 tariffs by today's action is listed in the annexes to this notice. </SUM> <DATES> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> <E T="03">Steel and aluminum derivatives added to the annex in this notice:</E> The duties set out in the annex for these additional steel and aluminum derivatives are effective with respect to certain products that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 18, 2025. </DATES> <SUPLINF> <HD SOURCE="HED">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</HD> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Background</HD> On February 10, 2025, the President issued the Aluminum Presidential Proclamation adjusting imports of aluminum into the United States (Proclamation 10895 of February 10, 2025) (90 FR 9807) and the Steel Presidential Proclamation adjusting imports of steel into the United States (Proclamation 10896 of February 10, 2025) (90 FR 9817). These Proclamations instructed the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), in consultation with other relevant executive departments and agencies, to revise the HTSUS so that it conforms to the amendments and effective dates directed in the Steel and Aluminum Presidential Proclamations within ten days of the issuance of the Proclamations. The Proclamations directed and authorized the Secretary to publish any such modifications to the HTSUS in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> . BIS published such modifications in Annex 1 to the notice, <E T="03">Implementation of Duties on Steel Pursuant to Proclamation 10896 Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States</E> and <E T="03">Implementation of Duties on Steel Pursuant to Proclamation 10895 Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States</E> on behalf of the Secretary on March 5, 2025 (90 FR 11249; 90 FR 11251). Additionally, Proclamations 10895 and 10896 required the Secretary to establish a process for including additional derivative aluminum and steel articles within the scope of the ad valorem duties. The Secretary, through BIS, established the Section 232 Inclusions Process via an Interim Final Rule effective April 30, 2025, and the first two-week submission window opened on May 1, 2025 (90 FR 18780). BIS completed its first submission cycle of the Section 232 Inclusions Process for the Section 232 Steel and Aluminum Tariffs and made the submissions available for public comment. After considering the submissions received, today's notice implements the Secretary's decisions and revises Annex I to add additional steel and/or aluminum derivative products. Memoranda detailing the Secretary's decisions may be viewed at <E T="03">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/BIS-2025-0023/document.</E> Today's notice, in Annex II, also makes technical corrections to the HTSUS. The tariff imposed under Proclamations 10895 and 10896 will be assessed on these derivative products for the value of the steel or aluminum content in each product. <SIG> <NAME>Robby S.
