Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
The federal order imposing surtaxes on imports of certain steel goods has been extended from a one-year to a two-year term. The quarterly periods covered by the quota and surtax framework have been rolled forward to cover mid-2026 through mid-2027, replacing the earlier 2025–2026 periods. Import quota volumes have been revised—some categories reduced, some increased—for both trade-agreement and non-trade-agreement countries. Tariff classification changes also move several hot-rolled sheet and cold-rolled sheet codes between product categories. Businesses importing steel products covered by this order—including hot-rolled sheet, cold-rolled sheet, structural steel, hot-rolled bar, stainless steel billets, and steel plate—should review the updated quota tonnages and applicable tariff classifications to ensure compliance with the new quarterly limits.
