Abstract:
On March 8, 2018, President Trump issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705, imposing duties on imports of aluminum and steel. The Proclamations also authorized the Secretary of Commerce to grant exclusions from the duties “if the Secretary determines the steel or aluminum article for which the exclusion is requested is not produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory quality or should be excluded based upon specific national security considerations.” This request allows for the submittal of rebuttals to objections received on posted exclusion requests and allows for surrebuttals for objections that receive rebuttals under the Section 232 exclusion process.
