The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said in a Federal Register notice that it will include new steel derivatives involving household appliances under the Section 232 50% tariffs, effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 AM EDT on June 23rd, 2025.

In the notice, BIS specifically revises Annex 1 to add the following additional steel derivative products:

1. combined refrigerator-freezers under HTSUS subheading 8418.10.00;
2. small and large dryers under HTSUS subheadings 8451.21.00 and 8451.29.00;

The tariff imposed under Proclamation 10896 will be assessed on these derivative products for the value of the steel content in each product. All other tariff codes for steel and steel derivative products in Annex 1 remain unchanged, BIS said.

*Note: Products classified under statistical reporting number 9403.99.9020 continue to be subject to tariffs under Proclamation 10895 as derivative products of aluminum for their aluminum content.
