Definition & Explanation

Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act of 1962 authorizes the President to impose import duties whenever a product is deemed a threat to national security — a provision applied since 2018 to steel imports, including rebar used in concrete reinforcement. For importers, these tariffs represent a direct cost factor that must be reflected in procurement pricing and landed-cost calculations. Depending on the country of origin, bilateral trade agreements or quota arrangements may reduce or eliminate the duty burden, making a case-by-case review essential. Unlike antidumping measures, which target unfair pricing, Section 232 duties rest solely on a national security rationale.
