On February 10, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation implementing tariffs on steel and derivative steel articles (the Proclamation).1 Effective March 12, 2025, previous proclamations that exempted or adjusted tariffs on steel imports from various countries, including South Korea, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and the European Union, will be rescinded. As a result, all steel and derivative steel imports from these nations will be subject to the extra tariffs originally imposed under Proclamation 9705 and Proclamation 9980. The President invoked his authority under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974 to make these changes.
