Proclamation 10947 of June 3, 2025
Adjusting Imports of Aluminum and Steel Into the
United States
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. On January 11, 2018, the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) transmitted to me a report on the
Secretary's investigation into the effect of imports of
steel mill articles (steel articles) on the national
security of the United States under section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1862) (section 232). The Secretary found and advised me
of his opinion that steel articles are being imported
into the United States in such quantities and under
such circumstances as to threaten to impair the
national security of the United States.
2. In Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting
Imports of Steel Into the United States), and
Proclamation 9980 of January 24, 2020 (Adjusting
Imports of Derivative Aluminum Articles and Derivative
Steel Articles Into the United States), I concurred
with the Secretary's findings that steel articles, as
defined in clause 1 of Proclamation 9705, and
derivative steel articles, as described in clause 3 of
Proclamation 9980, are being imported into the United
States in such quantities and under such circumstances
as to threaten to impair the national security of the
United States, and I decided to adjust the imports of
those steel articles and derivative steel articles by
imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such
articles imported from most countries. In Proclamation
10896 of February 10, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Steel
Into the United States), I decided to adjust the
imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles
by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such
articles imported from all countries.
3. On January 19, 2018, the Secretary transmitted to me
a report on the Secretary's investigation into the
effect of imports of aluminum articles on the national
security of the United States under section 232. The
Secretary found and advised me of his opinion that
aluminum articles are being imported into the United
States in such quantities and under such circumstances
as to threaten to impair the national security of the
United States.
4. In Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting
Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), and
Proclamation 9980, I concurred with the Secretary's
findings that aluminum articles, as defined in clause 1
of Proclamation 9704, and derivative aluminum articles,
as described in clause 3 of Proclamation 9980, are
being imported into the United States in such
quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten
to impair the national security of the United States,
and decided to adjust the imports of aluminum articles
and derivative aluminum articles by imposing a 10
percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported
from most countries. In Proclamation 10895 of February
10, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United
States), I decided to adjust the imports of aluminum
articles and derivative aluminum articles by imposing a
25 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported
from all countries.
5. In Proclamation 10896 and Proclamation 10895, I
instructed the Secretary to continue to monitor imports
of steel articles and derivative steel articles, and
aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles,
respectively, and
[[Page 24200]]
to review the status of such imports with respect to
the national security of the United States. The
Secretary has done so and has advised me accordingly.
6. After considering current information newly provided
by the Secretary, among other things, I have determined
that it is necessary to increase the previously
described steel and aluminum tariffs to adjust the
imports of steel and aluminum articles and their
derivative articles so that such imports will not
threaten to impair the national security. In my
judgment, the increased tariffs will more effectively
counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-
priced, excess steel and aluminum in the United States
market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the
United States steel and aluminum industries. Although
the previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs have
helped provide critical price support in the United
States market, they have not yet enabled these
industries to develop and maintain the rates of
capacity production utilization that are necessary for
the industries' sustained health and for projected
national defense needs. I have determined that
increasing the previously imposed tariffs will provide
greater support to these industries and reduce or
eliminate the national security threat posed by imports
of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative
articles.
7. Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary
and appropriate to increase the tariff rate for imports
of steel articles and derivative steel articles, and
aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles,
from 25 percent ad valorem to 50 percent ad valorem
effective as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on
June 4, 2025. I have also determined that it is
necessary and appropriate to modify the way in which
the tariff measures described in Executive Order 14289
of April 29, 2025 (Addressing Certain Tariffs on
Imported Articles), apply to steel articles and
derivative steel articles, and aluminum articles and
derivative aluminum articles, to ensure the
effectiveness of the tariff changes described in this
proclamation and the alignment of policy priorities
between this proclamation and Executive Order 14289. I
have further determined that it is necessary and
appropriate to allow for the implementation of the
U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal of May 8, 2025 (EPD),
and to accordingly provide different treatment, as
described below, for imports of steel and aluminum
articles, and their derivatives, from the United
Kingdom.
8. Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the
imports of an article and its derivatives that are
being imported into the United States in such
quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten
to impair the national security.
9. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19
U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
the substance of statutes affecting import treatment,
and actions thereunder, including the removal,
modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of
duty or other import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, including section 232; the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.);
section 301 of title 3, United States Code; and section
604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, do hereby
proclaim as follows:
(1) As set forth in Annexes I and II to this
proclamation, as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on
June 4, 2025, the tariffs proclaimed by Proclamation
9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended;
Proclamation 9980, as amended; Proclamation 10895; and
Proclamation 10896 are modified to increase the
respective tariff rates from an additional 25 percent
ad valorem to an additional 50 percent ad valorem.
(2) The modifications to the HTSUS made by clause 1
of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to
goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m.
eastern
[[Page 24201]]
daylight time on June 4, 2025, and shall continue in
effect, unless such actions are expressly reduced,
modified, or terminated.
(3) Any imports of articles set forth in Annex II
to this proclamation that were admitted into a United
States foreign trade zone under ``privileged foreign
status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.41 before 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, shall be subject
upon entry for consumption made on or after 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, to the
provisions of the tariff in effect at the time of the
entry for consumption.
(4) Any article set forth in Annex I to this
proclamation, except those eligible for admission under
``domestic status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, that
is subject to a duty imposed by this proclamation and
that is admitted into a United States foreign trade
zone on or after June 4, 2025, may be admitted only
under ``privileged foreign status'' as defined in 19
CFR 146.41, and will be subject upon entry for
consumption to any ad valorem rates of duty related to
the classification under the applicable HTSUS
subheading.
(5) Effective as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on June 4, 2025, Executive Order 14289 is amended
by revising section 3(a)(ii) to read as follows: ``(ii)
An article subject to tariffs pursuant to the actions
listed in section 2(d) or 2(e) of this order shall not
be subject to additional tariffs on that article
pursuant to the actions listed in section 2(b) or 2(c)
of this order.'' As set forth in Annex III of this
proclamation, this amendment shall be effective with
respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, and shall
continue in effect, unless such actions are expressly
reduced, modified, or terminated.
(6) Notwithstanding any prior proclamation or
Executive Order, the non-aluminum, non-steel content of
all aluminum and steel articles and derivative articles
shall be subject to tariffs pursuant to Executive Order
14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a
Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That
Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States
Goods Trade Deficits), as amended, and any other
applicable tariffs. The additional ad valorem duties
described in clause 1 and clause 7 of this proclamation
shall apply only to the steel content of articles in
Chapter 73 of the HTSUS and only to the aluminum
content of articles in Chapter 76 of the HTSUS. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall issue
authoritative guidance mandating strict compliance with
declaration requirements for steel and aluminum content
in imported articles and outlining maximum penalties
for noncompliance, including that importers who submit
underreported declarations may be subject to severe
consequences, including but not limited to significant
monetary penalties, loss of import privileges, and
criminal liability, consistent with United States law.
(7) Notwithstanding clause 1 of this proclamation,
the applicable rates of duty for articles of the United
Kingdom that would otherwise be applicable pursuant to
Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as
amended; Proclamation 9980, as amended; Proclamation
10895; and Proclamation 10896 shall remain at 25
percent ad valorem. On or after July 9, 2025, the
Secretary may adjust the applicable rates of duty and
construct import quotas for steel and aluminum
consistent with the terms of the EPD, or he may
increase the applicable rates of duty to 50 percent if
he determines that the United Kingdom has not complied
with relevant aspects of the EPD.
(8) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports
of the articles and derivative articles described in
Annexes I and II to this proclamation, and shall, from
time to time, in consultation with any senior executive
branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate,
review the status of such imports with respect to the
national security of the United States. The Secretary
shall inform the President of any circumstances that,
in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate the need for
further action by the President under
[[Page 24202]]
section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the
President of any circumstances that, in the Secretary's
opinion, might indicate that the duty rate provided for
in this proclamation, or any proclamation issued
pursuant thereto, is no longer necessary.
(9) No drawback shall be available with respect to
the duties imposed pursuant to this proclamation.
(10) The Secretary may issue regulations and
guidance consistent with this proclamation, including
to address operational necessity.
(11) The Secretary, in consultation with the United
States International Trade Commission and CBP, shall
determine whether any modifications to the HTSUS are
necessary to effectuate this proclamation and may make
such modifications through notice in the Federal
Register if needed.
(12) CBP may take any necessary or appropriate
measures to administer the tariffs imposed by this
proclamation.
(13) Any provision of previous proclamations and
Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions
taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent
of such inconsistency.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand
twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
(Presidential Sig.)
