The notice marks the beginning of the second inclusion request period, after the agency added Section 232 tariffs to over 400 tariff subheadings in the first inclusion period (see 2508150063), which began with an initial request for submissions in May and concluded with the tariff additions about three months later in August. Commerce ended up denying only about 60 inclusion requests.
For this second round, accepted inclusion requests will be posted for the two-week public comment period on docket BIS-2025-0023 on Regulations.gov. A third round of tariff inclusion requests is scheduled for January.
