Proclamations 10895, ``Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into The United 
States'' (Aluminum Proclamation), and 10896, ``Adjusting Imports of 
Steel into the United States'' (Steel Proclamation). These 
proclamations imposed specified rates of duty on imports of aluminum

respectively (collectively, the Inclusions Proclamations).

interim final rule (IFR) published on May 2, 2025 (90 FR 18780), BIS

Regulations and established a process for including additional 
derivative aluminum and steel articles within the scope of the duties 
authorized by the President under section 232 of the Trade Expansion 
Act of 1962, as amended (Section 232). This IFR established recurring 
two-week windows each year for submissions for derivative products in 
May, September, and January.
