This case card records the U.S. Section 232 steel, aluminium and copper framework as signed on 2 April 2026 and effective 6 April 2026.
A trade-remedy database is only as good as its fields. Jurisdiction, legal instrument, product and HS scope, form of the rate, key dates, status and official gazette link are all mandatory.
This first card demonstrates the template and links to the related Wiki entries and monthly column.
Case status
The structured card
We list the fields with their values, then walk through which tracker, racking and aluminium-frame components are actually covered.
Scope of the measure
Origin and inclusion mechanics
Melt-and-pour, smelt-and-cast, full customs value and the rolling inclusion process are recorded as separate attributes, not merged into a rate.
A classification warning
This is a national-security tariff, not an antidumping measure. Ad valorem duty, dumping margin and cash-deposit rate are never used interchangeably.

All figures above are quoted with the unit and reference period used by the primary source. They are reproduced here for reference, not independently re-measured.
What has not been decided: verification note
Ad valorem duty, dumping margin and deposit rate are distinct. This case is a national-security tariff and is not an antidumping or countervailing measure.
What to watch next
BIS derivative inclusion notices and CBP classification rulings.
