This Presidential Proclamation formally modifies the existing Section 232 tariff regimes imposed on imports of aluminum, steel, and copper, as established in prior proclamations, based on recommendations from the Secretary of Commerce regarding national security concerns and domestic economic impacts.

The modifications introduce a temporarily reduced 15 percent ad valorem duty for specific derivative products, including agricultural equipment and residential HVAC systems, while also extending coverage to products like aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks to prevent circumvention.
