On August 29, 2018, the President issued the Presidential Proclamation Adjusting Imports of Steel into the United States. The Proclamation under clause 2 directed that the Secretary of Commerce, shall, on an expedited basis, grant relief from the applicable quantitative limitations set forth in Proclamation 9740 and Proclamation 9759 and their accompanying annexes, as amended, for any steel article when the requirements set forth in this clause are met. Per the Presidential Proclamation of August 29, in order to request an exclusion from quantitative limitations on the imports of steel on the basis of an existing contract: the requester must affirm that each of the five conditions specified on the form entitled âExpedited Relief from Quantitative Limits â Existing Contract: Section 232 National Security Investigations of Steel Importsâ are true, provide the necessary information to allow the administration of an exclusion, and certify that the information provided is complete and correct to the best of your knowledge.
In the Proclamation of August 29, President Trump directed that as soon as practicable, the Secretary of Commerce shall issue procedures for requests for exclusions described in clause 2 to allow for exclusion requests for countries subject to quantitative limitations. The U.S. Department of Commerce will create an exclusion process for clause 2 by posting the newly created form on the Commerce website. Requesters will complete this form and send the form, the required certification, and any needed attachments to the U.S. Department of Commerce at the email address steel232â[email protected]. The posting of this exclusion procedure on the Commerce website will fulfill the Presidential directive included in the most recent Proclamation, as well as the earlier Proclamations that directed the Secretary of Commerce to create an exclusion process to ensure users of steel and aluminum in the United States would continue to have access to the steel and aluminum that they may need.
