BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
1.
Under Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018, concerning aluminum imports, Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018, concerning steel imports, and Proclamation 10962 of July 30, 2025, concerning copper imports, as amended, I determined that the importation of aluminum, steel, and copper in significant quantities threatens U.S. national security under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1862. Accordingly, I implemented measures to adjust these imports to safeguard national security, including imposing additional ad valorem duties on certain metal product imports to address the security threats identified in these proclamations.
2.
On April 2, 2026, in Proclamation 11021, I revised the tariff structures established under section 232 for metal product imports to better address the security issues identified in earlier proclamations. This included setting an ad valorem duty of 50 percent on products made from these metals, 25 percent on derivative products primarily composed of these metals, and a temporary 15 percent duty on certain derivative products like fixed industrial machinery and power equipment.
3.
Following consultations and monitoring by the Secretary of Commerce and other senior officials, I received updated information, opinions, and recommendations about the tariff regimes from the Secretary. It was noted that recent developments have impacted domestic industries utilizing agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and related products. Many of these products are classified as derivatives of aluminum or steel due to their composition and play a crucial role in the U.S. economy. For instance, American farmers rely on agricultural machinery for food production, construction equipment is vital for reindustrialization, and material-handling equipment supports logistics and factory operations.
4.
In response, the Secretary recommended modifying tariffs on these products under Proclamations 9704 and 9705, as amended. The suggestion was to expand the category of derivative products eligible for the temporarily-reduced 15 percent ad valorem duty to include agricultural equipment and certain residential HVAC systems and components, currently classified as aluminum or steel derivatives. Additionally, the Secretary advised temporarily altering tariffs on mobile industrial equipment and machinery to support U.S. businesses and factories using these products.
5.
Furthermore, the Secretary recommended adding aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks, not currently subject to tariffs, to the product coverage of Proclamation 11021, ensuring they are appropriately tariffed and that the security objectives of Proclamations 9704 and 9705 are upheld. It was also suggested to adjust the criteria for imported products to be considered as made “entirely” from American aluminum, steel, or copper under Proclamation 11021.
6.
After evaluating the new information, opinions, and recommendations from the Secretary, along with the factors in section 232 (19 U.S.C. 1862(d)) and other pertinent information, I conclude that it is necessary to modify the tariff regimes for metal products as described below, to continue addressing the security threats identified in earlier proclamations.
7.
I have decided that agricultural equipment and certain HVAC systems and components predominantly for residential use should be included in the category of derivative products subject to the temporarily-reduced 15 percent ad valorem duty under Proclamation 11021. This modification, in my view, adequately considers these products’ economic roles and the recent circumstances impacting industries and services that utilize these products, while maintaining the effectiveness of the tariff regimes in addressing the national security threats noted in Proclamations 9704 and 9705.
8.
I also find it necessary to temporarily adjust the tariffs imposed on mobile industrial equipment and machinery. This adjustment reflects these products’ roles in the U.S. economy and accounts for recent changes affecting industries and services using these products, while allowing the tariff regimes to continue addressing the security threats identified in Proclamations 9704 and 9705.
9.
I have determined that aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks should be classified as aluminum and steel derivative products subject to the applicable derivative tariff under Proclamation 11021. This classification ensures that the tariffs on metal products are not bypassed and that the objectives of addressing national security threats in Proclamations 9704 and 9705 are not compromised.
10.
I find it appropriate to modify the threshold for imported products to qualify as made “entirely” from American aluminum, steel, or copper, as defined in Proclamation 11021. The threshold will be reduced from 95 percent to 85 percent, encouraging greater use of American metals in derivative products and furthering the actions taken to address the security threats in Proclamations 9704, 9705, and 10962.
11.
Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust imports of an article and its derivatives into the United States to prevent any potential threat to national security.
12.
Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 2483 (section 604), empowers the President to incorporate the substance of statutes affecting import treatment into the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), including actions such as removal, modification, continuation, or imposition of duties or other import restrictions.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and U.S. laws, including section 232, section 604, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby proclaim:
(1) Effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 8, 2026, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS is modified as provided in Annex IV to this proclamation, and the product lists in Annex I-A, Annex I-B, Annex II, and Annex III of Proclamation 11021 are modified as detailed in the annexes to this proclamation.
(2) Effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 8, 2026, until 11:59 p.m. eastern standard time on December 31, 2027, the additional ad valorem duty under section 232 for all aluminum and steel articles listed in Annex I-C to this proclamation will be:
(a) 25 percent, unless a lower duty rate applies under clause (2)(b), (2)(c), or (2)(d) of this proclamation;
(b) For products from Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, or EU member states, the duty rate will be determined by the product’s current ad valorem (or ad valorem equivalent) rate under Column 1 of the HTSUS. For products with a Column 1 Duty Rate less than 15 percent, the sum of this rate and the additional section 232 duty will be 15 percent. For products with a Column 1 Duty Rate of at least 15 percent, the additional section 232 duty will be zero percent;
(c) 10 percent, based on the product’s current ad valorem (or ad valorem equivalent) Column 1 Duty Rate as outlined in clause (2)(b) of this proclamation, for derivative articles composed entirely of U.S.-sourced aluminum or steel; and
(d) For products from Canada and Mexico qualifying for preferential tariff treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a 25 percent duty applies only to non-U.S. content. “Non-U.S. content” is defined as the total product value minus the value of U.S.-produced parts. The total effective duty on the imported product will not be less than 15 percent ad valorem, as specified in Annex IV of this proclamation. The Secretary will provide guidance to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding “U.S. content” assessment. If CBP finds that an importer has committed fraud or misled the U.S. Government about the U.S. content of an imported product, penalties will be applied as permitted by law.
(3)(a) Effective for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on January 1, 2028, the applicable additional ad valorem duty under Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10962, as amended, for imports of products listed in Annex I-C to this proclamation will be the rates set out in clause (3) of Proclamation 11021.
(b) If a product is subject to multiple duty rates under clause (2) of this proclamation, the lowest applicable rate will apply.
(4) For this proclamation and Proclamation 11021, as set forth in Annex IV, a product’s metal content will be considered entirely U.S.-origin if at least 85 percent of the aluminum, steel, or copper weight is sourced and processed in the United States.
(5) The Secretary, in collaboration with the United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative), the Chair of the International Trade Commission, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and other senior officials as deemed appropriate, will determine necessary modifications to the HTSUS to implement this proclamation or any related actions. Modifications will be made through notices in the Federal Register. The Secretary may also make technical corrections to any annexes in this proclamation.
(6) The Secretary will continue monitoring metal product imports. The Secretary and the Trade Representative will assess the status of metal imports concerning national security. They will inform the President of any circumstances suggesting further Presidential action under section 232 might be necessary or if any actions under section 232 are no longer required.
(7) Consistent with applicable law, the Secretary, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Trade Representative are authorized to implement this proclamation and any related actions. This includes temporary suspension or amendment of regulations, notices in the Federal Register, and adopting rules, regulations, or guidance using all powers granted to the President, including section 232, as appropriate. Heads of executive departments and agencies are authorized to take necessary measures within their authority to implement this proclamation. Agency heads may redelegate this authority within their agency, consistent with applicable law, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code.
(8) The Secretary, in consultation with the Trade Representative and other senior officials, may issue regulations and guidance consistent with this proclamation to address operational needs.
(9) The Secretary of Homeland Security may take appropriate measures to administer, implement, and enforce this proclamation and the tariff regimes imposed in Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10962, as amended.
(10) Any conflicting provisions of previous proclamations and Executive Orders are superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
(11) If any provision of this proclamation or its application to any individual or circumstance is found invalid, the rest of the proclamation and its application to other individuals or circumstances will remain unaffected.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
