DOJ and steel importer NLMK Pennsylvania are awaiting word from the U.S. "settlement authority" regarding NLMK's Section 232 steel and aluminum tariff exclusion case after the parties agreed to a settlement in principle, they said Jan. 2. The Court of International Trade gave the government and NLMK another stay in the case, granting them 30 additional days to file another status report (NLMK Pennsylvania v. United States, CIT # 21-00507).
Section 232 Exclusions
Companies that import steel and aluminum goods that are subject to Section 232 tariffs may seek exclusions from these tariffs for their products with the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. Oftentimes, these exclusion requests will be rejected, particularly where a domestic U.S. steel or aluminum company can demonstrate that they are capable of making the importer's products in sufficient quantity and quality. After an exclusion request has been denied, the importer challenge this decision at the Court of International Trade. Frequently, these challenges will be referred to mediation before a CIT judge, however, cases that proceed to litigation will involve evidentiary disputes regarding the U.S. companies' manufacturing capacity and quality.
