Proclamation 10895 of February 10, 2025
Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United
States
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. On January 19, 2018, the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) transmitted to me a report on his
investigation into the effect of imports of aluminum on
the national security of the United States under
section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1862) (section 232). The Secretary
found and advised me of the Secretary's opinion that
aluminum is being imported into the United States in
such quantities and under such circumstances as to
threaten to impair the national security of the United
States.
2. In Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting
Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), I
concurred in the Secretary's finding that aluminum was
being imported into the United States in such
quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten
to impair the national security of the United States,
and decided to adjust the imports of aluminum articles
by imposing a 10 percent ad valorem tariff on such
articles imported from most countries. Proclamation
9704 further stated that any country with which the
United States has a security relationship is welcome to
discuss alternative ways to address the threatened
impairment of the national security caused by imports
from that country, and noted that, should the United
States and any such country arrive at a satisfactory
alternative means to address the threat to the national
security such that I determine that imports from that
country no longer threaten to impair the national
security, I may remove or modify the restriction on
aluminum articles imports from that country and, if
necessary, adjust the tariff as it applies to other
countries, as the national security interests of the
United States require.
3. In Proclamation 9704, I also directed the Secretary
to monitor imports of aluminum articles and inform me
of any circumstances that in the Secretary's opinion
might indicate the need for further action under
section 232 with respect to such imports. Pursuant to
Proclamation 9704, the Secretary was authorized to
provide relief from the additional duties, based on a
request from a directly affected party located in the
United States, for any aluminum article determined not
to be produced in the United States in a sufficient and
reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory
quality, or based upon specific national security
considerations. Proclamation 9776 of August 29, 2018,
and Proclamation 9980 of January 24, 2020, similarly
authorized the Secretary to provide relief from certain
tariffs on other aluminum products and derivatives set
forth in those proclamations.
4. In subsequent proclamations, the President adjusted
the tariffs applicable to aluminum articles imports
from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, the European
Union (EU), and the United Kingdom (UK), after engaging
in discussions with each of those parties on
alternative ways to address the threat to the national
security from such imports.
5. The Secretary has informed me that, notwithstanding
the 10 percent ad valorem tariff imposed by
Proclamation 9704 that mitigated the threatened
impairment of our national security, aluminum imports
into the United States have continued at unacceptable
levels as the global aluminum excess capacity crisis
continues. In addition, the exclusion of certain
countries
[[Page 9808]]
and products from the tariff and efforts by foreign
producers to circumvent the tariff have undermined the
purpose of Proclamation 9704, which was to adjust the
level of imports of aluminum to remove the threatened
impairment of the national security. This has again
resulted in aluminum smelter capacity utilization rates
in the domestic aluminum industry that are well below
the target level recommended in the Secretary's January
19, 2018, report. This indicates that the initial
tariff of 10 percent ad valorem is not high enough to
address the threatened impairment to our national
security posed by aluminum imports.
6. In particular, the Secretary has informed me that
global primary aluminum capacity has continued to
increase, fueled by expansions in the People's Republic
of China (China) and South America, which is seen in
rising aluminum imports that continue to weigh on the
price domestic aluminum producers may charge. There has
also been a significant increase in Chinese investment
in Mexico, driven by massive Chinese government
subsidies and the continued ability to exploit
loopholes in U.S. trade policy.
7. Domestic aluminum producers have been forced to idle
additional production and shut down facilities. Two
primary aluminum smelters within the United States have
closed since Proclamation 9704 was promulgated. In
addition, U.S. primary aluminum production decreased by
30 percent from 2020 to 2024, and U.S. smelter capacity
utilization was only 52 percent in 2024. Overcapacity
for primary aluminum has harmed downstream aluminum
producers, including producers of aluminum extrusions
and aluminum sheet. To allow U.S. aluminum producers to
restart production and to incentivize new capacity,
additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on
aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions
and increasing the tariff rate.
8. The Secretary has informed me that imports of
aluminum articles from countries that are excluded from
the tariff regime or have alternative arrangements have
remained significantly elevated at levels that once
again threaten to impair the national security of the
United States. The volume of U.S. imports of aluminum
articles from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, EU
countries, and the UK in 2024 was approximately 14
percent higher than the average volume of such imports
in 2015 through 2017. In particular, the volume of U.S.
imports of primary aluminum from Canada in 2024 was
approximately 18 percent higher than the average volume
for 2015 through 2017. Notwithstanding Proclamation
10782 of July 10, 2024, which imposed higher tariffs on
certain aluminum imports from Mexico, imports of
aluminum from Mexico have continued to surge beyond
historical volumes. The volume of U.S. imports of
aluminum articles from Mexico in 2024 was approximately
35 percent higher than the average volume for 2015
through 2017. Proclamation 10782 did not resolve the
surge of imports of aluminum from Mexico. Mexican
producers are using unfair trade to gain market share
in the United States and are leveraging their access to
unfairly traded global primary aluminum to do so. I
understand that Mexican producers are commingling
primary aluminum from China and the Russian Federation
(Russia) with primary aluminum from other countries to
produce downstream aluminum articles. These practices
are distortive and provide continued outlets to absorb
the massive amount of global excess capacity and must
be remedied. The volume of U.S. imports of primary
aluminum from Australia has also surged and in 2024 was
approximately 103 percent higher than the average
volume for 2015 through 2017. Australia has disregarded
its verbal commitment to voluntarily restrain its
aluminum exports to a reasonable level.
9. These volume increases occurred even though demand
for aluminum in the United States and Canada (the
market measured by industry) has generally remained
flat, averaging about 20 percent since 2018.
10. These increasing import volumes support the
conclusion that aluminum producers in countries subject
to the additional ad valorem tariff proclaimed in
Proclamation 9704 are engaging in transshipment or
further processing
[[Page 9809]]
of upstream aluminum products in countries that have
since been exempted from that tariff. Foreign producers
have shifted assembly or manufacturing operations to
third countries, such as Mexico. For example, Chinese
producers are using Mexico's general exclusion from the
tariff to funnel Chinese aluminum to the United States
through Mexico while avoiding the tariff.
11. The Secretary has informed me that producers in
countries that remain subject to the ad valorem tariff
have continued to evade the tariff by processing
covered aluminum articles into additional downstream
derivative products that were not included in the
additional ad valorem tariffs proclaimed in
Proclamation 9704 and Proclamation 9980. Foreign
producers are continuing to expand downstream
production to absorb the global excess capacity.
Imports of additional derivative aluminum products have
increased significantly since the issuance of
Proclamation 9704 and Proclamation 9980, eroding the
domestic industry's customer base and resulting in
depressed demand for aluminum articles produced in the
United States.
12. The Secretary has also informed me of the impact of
the product exclusion process authorized by
Proclamation 9704, Proclamation 9776, and Proclamation
9980 and implemented by subsequent regulations. This
process has resulted in exclusions for a significant
volume of imports, in a manner that undermines the
purpose of the section 232 measures and threatens to
impair the national security of the United States.
Certain general approved exclusions remain in effect
for entire tariff lines of aluminum imports,
notwithstanding the domestic industry's potential to
produce many excluded products.
13. I determine that these developments and
modifications to the original tariff regime as
proclaimed in Proclamation 9704 have undermined the
regime's national security objectives by preventing the
domestic aluminum industry (including derivatives) from
achieving sustained production capacity utilization of
at least 80 percent, as determined in the Secretary's
January 19, 2018, report. I also determine that the
modifications failed to achieve their articulated
objectives. As a result, I determine that these
modifications have resulted in significantly increasing
imports of aluminum articles that once again threaten
to impair the national security of the United States.
14. In light of the Secretary's findings, I have
determined that it is necessary and appropriate to
adjust the tariff proclaimed by Proclamation 9704, as
amended, and the tariff proclaimed by Proclamation
9980, as amended, to increase the tariff rate from 10
percent ad valorem to 25 percent ad valorem. These
actions are necessary and appropriate to remove the
threatened impairment of the national security of the
United States.
15. In light of the Secretary's findings regarding the
alternative agreements with Argentina proclaimed in
Proclamation 9758 of May 31, 2018; Australia proclaimed
in Proclamation 9758; Canada proclaimed in Proclamation
9893 of May 19, 2019, and Proclamation 10106 of October
27, 2020; Mexico proclaimed in Proclamation 9893 and
Proclamation 10782 of July 10, 2024; the European Union
proclaimed in Proclamation 10327 of December 27, 2021,
and Proclamation 10690 of December 28, 2023; and the
United Kingdom proclaimed in Proclamation 10405 of May
31, 2022, I have decided that it is necessary to
terminate these agreements as of March 12, 2025. As of
March 12, 2025, all imports of aluminum articles and
derivative aluminum articles from Argentina, Australia,
Canada, Mexico, EU countries, and the UK shall be
subject to the additional ad valorem tariff proclaimed
in Proclamation 9704, as amended, with respect to
aluminum articles and Proclamation 9980, as amended,
with respect to derivative aluminum articles. Imports
of aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles
from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, EU
countries, and the UK shall be subject to the revised
tariff rate of 25 percent ad valorem established in
clause 2 of this proclamation, commensurate with the
tariff rate imposed on such articles imported from most
other countries. In my judgment, these modifications
are necessary to address the significantly increasing
imports of aluminum articles and derivative aluminum
articles from these sources, which
[[Page 9810]]
threaten to impair the national security of the United
States. Replacing the alternative agreements with the
additional ad valorem tariffs will be a more robust and
effective means of ensuring that the objectives
articulated in the Secretary's January 19, 2018, report
and subsequent proclamations are achieved.
16. In light of the information provided by the
Secretary that the significant increase of imports of
certain derivative aluminum articles has depressed
demand for aluminum articles produced by domestic
aluminum producers, I have determined that it is
necessary to adjust the tariff proclaimed in
Proclamation 9704 and Proclamation 9980 to apply to
additional derivative aluminum articles.
17. I have also determined that it is necessary to
terminate the product exclusion process as authorized
in clause 3 of Proclamation 9704, clause 1 of
Proclamation 9776, and clause 2 of Proclamation 9980.
18. Section 232, as amended, authorizes the President
to take action to adjust the imports of an article and
its derivatives that are being imported into the United
States in such quantities or under such circumstances
as to threaten to impair the national security of the
United States.
19. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,
authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) the
substance of statutes affecting import treatment, and
actions thereunder, including the removal,
modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of
duty or other import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, including section 301 of title 3, United
States Code, section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, and section 232, do hereby proclaim as
follows:
(1) The provisions of Proclamation 9758 with respect to imports of aluminum
articles from the Argentina; Proclamation 9758 with respect to imports of

10106 with respect to imports of aluminum articles from Canada;
Proclamation 9893 and Proclamation 10782 with respect to imports of
aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles from Mexico;
Proclamation 10327 and Proclamation 10690 with respect to imports of
aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles from the European Union;
and Proclamation 10405 with respect to imports of aluminum articles and
derivative aluminum articles from the United Kingdom shall be ineffective
as of 12:01 a.m. eastern time on March 12, 2025. The provisions of clause 1
of Proclamation 9980 as applicable to imports of derivative aluminum
articles from Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Mexico shall be ineffective
as of 12:01 a.m. eastern time on March 12, 2025; all imports of aluminum
articles and derivative aluminum articles from these countries shall be
subject to the additional ad valorem tariffs proclaimed in Proclamation
9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9980, as amended. Imports of aluminum
articles and derivative aluminum articles from Argentina, Australia,
Canada, Mexico, EU countries, and the United Kingdom will be subject to the
revised tariff rate of 25 percent ad valorem established in clauses (2) and
(3) of this proclamation, commensurate with the tariff rate imposed on such
articles imported from most countries, as amended by this proclamation.
(2) As of 12:01 a.m. on March 12, 2025, the tariff proclaimed by
Proclamation 9704, as amended, and the tariff proclaimed by Proclamation
9980, as amended, are adjusted to increase the respective tariff rates from
an additional 10 percent ad valorem to an additional 25 percent ad valorem.
(3) Clause 2 of Proclamation 9704, as amended, is further amended in the
second sentence by deleting ``and'' before ``(k)''; replacing ``11:59 p.m.
eastern standard time on December 31, 2025'' after (k) with ``12:01 a.m.
eastern time on March 12, 2025''; and inserting before the period
[[Page 9811]]
at the end: ``, and (l) on or after 12:01 a.m. on March 12, 2025, at a
revised rate of an additional 25 percent ad valorem rate, from all
countries except from Russia.''
(4) The first two sentences of clause 1 of Proclamation 9980 are revised to
read as follows:
``In order to establish increases in the duty rate on imports of certain
derivative articles, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS is modified

after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on March 12, 2025,a revised 25 percent ad
valorem rate of duty, which is in addition to any other duties, fees,
exactions, and charges applicable to such imported derivative aluminum
articles, shall apply to imports of derivative aluminum articles described
in Annex I to this proclamation from all countries except Russia.''
(5) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, all imports of
derivative aluminum articles specified in Annex I to this proclamation or
any subsequent annex published in the Federal Register pursuant to this
Proclamation shall be subject to an additional 25 percent ad valorem rate
of duty, with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, on or after the Commerce certification date in
accordance with clause 9. For any derivative aluminum article identified in
Annex I that is not in Chapter 76 of the HTSUS, the additional ad valorem
duty shall apply only to the aluminum content of the derivative article.
These rates of duty, which are in addition to any other duties, fees,
exactions, and charges applicable to such imported derivative aluminum
articles, shall apply to imports of derivative aluminum articles described
in Annex I to this proclamation from all countries, except Russia, but
shall not apply to derivative aluminum articles processed in another
country from aluminum articles that were smelted and cast in the United
States. Further, all imports of derivative aluminum articles specified in
Annex I to this proclamation that are the product of Russia and all imports
of derivative aluminum articles specified in Annex I to this proclamation
where any amount of primary aluminum used in the manufacture of the
derivative aluminum articles is smelted in Russia, or the derivative
aluminum articles are cast in Russia, shall be subject to the 200 percent
ad valorem rate of duty established in Proclamation 10522, with respect to
goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption,
on or after the Commerce certification date in accordance with clause 9.
Primary aluminum is defined as new aluminum metal that is produced from
alumina (or aluminum oxide) by the electrolytic Hall-Heroult process. The
Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of the derivative articles
described in Annex I to this proclamation, and shall, from time to time, in
consultation with the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of
Defense, or other officials as appropriate, review the status of such
imports with respect to the national security of the United States.
(6) The Secretary shall not consider any new product exclusion requests
under clause 3 of Proclamation 9704, clause 1 of Proclamation 9776, or
clause 2 of Proclamation 9980, or renew any such product exclusions in
effect as of the date of this proclamation. Granted product exclusions
shall remain effective until their expiration date or until excluded
product volume is imported, whichever occurs first. The Secretary shall
take all actions, including publication in the Federal Register, necessary
to terminate the product exclusion process. In addition, all general
approved exclusions shall be ineffective as of March 12, 2025, and the
Secretary shall publish a notice in the Federal Register to this effect. I
have determined that this is necessary to ensure that these general
exclusions do not allow high volumes of imports, including of products that
the domestic
[[Page 9813]]
industry can produce and supply, to undermine the objectives articulated in
the Secretary's January 2018 report and relevant subsequent proclamations.
Following the elimination of quantitative restrictions on certain sources
pursuant to this proclamation, and subject to any restrictions set forth in
or pursuant to other provisions of applicable law, imports of any aluminum
article or derivative article from any source and in any quantity will be
available to domestic importers, provided that the additional ad valorem
tariffs are paid upon entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
For purposes of implementing the requirements in this proclamation,
importers of aluminum derivative articles shall provide to CBP any
information necessary to identify the aluminum content used in the
manufacture of aluminum derivative articles imports covered by this
Proclamation. CBP is hereby authorized and directed to publish regulations
or guidance implementing this requirement as soon as practicable.
(7) Within 90 days after the date of this proclamation, the Secretary shall
establish a process for including additional derivative aluminum articles
within the scope of the ad valorem duties proclaimed in Proclamation 9704,
as amended, Proclamation 9980, as amended, and clause 5 of this
proclamation. In addition to inclusions made by the Secretary, this process
shall provide for including additional derivative aluminum articles at the
request of a producer of an aluminum article or derivative aluminum article
within the United States, or an industry association representing one or
more such producers, establishing that imports of a derivative aluminum
article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national
security or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the Secretary's
January 19, 2018 report or any Proclamation issued pursuant thereto. When
the Secretary receives such a request from a domestic producer or industry
association, it shall issue a determination regarding whether or not to
include the derivative aluminum article or articles within 60 days of
receiving the request.
(8) The provisions of clause 3 of Proclamation 9704, clause 1 of
Proclamation 9776, and clause 2 of Proclamation 9980, or any other
provisions authorizing the Secretary to grant relief for certain products
from the additional ad valorem duties or quantitative restrictions set
forth in the prior proclamations described herein are hereby revoked,
except to the extent required to implement clause 5 of this proclamation.
(9) The modifications made by this proclamation with respect to derivative
aluminum articles identified in the annex that are not in chapter 76 of the
HTSUS shall be effective upon public notification by the Secretary of
Commerce, that adequate systems are in place to fully, efficiently, and
expediently process and collect tariff revenue for covered articles.
(10) Any aluminum article or derivative article, except those eligible for
admission under ``domestic status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, that is
subject to the duty imposed by this proclamation and that is admitted into
a U.S. foreign trade zone on or after the Commerce certification date, in
accordance with clause 9, may be admitted only under ``privileged foreign
status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, and will be subject upon entry for
consumption to any ad valorem rates of duty related to the classification
under the applicable HTSUS subheading.
(11) The United States International Trade Commission, in consultation with
the Secretary, the Commissioner of United States Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) within the Department of Homeland Security, and the heads
of other relevant executive departments and agencies, shall revise the
HTSUS so that it conforms to the amendments and effective dates directed in
this proclamation within ten days of the date of this proclamation. The
Secretary is authorized and directed to publish any such modifications to
the HTSUS in the Federal Register.
(12) CBP shall prioritize reviews of the classification of imported
aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles and, in the event that
it discovers
[[Page 9814]]
misclassification resulting in loss of revenue of the ad valorem duties
proclaimed herein, it shall assess monetary penalties in the maximum amount
permitted by law. In addition, CBP shall promptly notify the Secretary
regarding evidence of any efforts to evade payment of the ad valorem duties
proclaimed herein through processing or alteration of aluminum articles or
derivative aluminum articles as a disguise or artifice prior to
importation. In such circumstances, the Secretary shall consider the
processed or altered aluminum articles or derivative aluminum articles for
inclusion as derivative aluminum articles pursuant to clause 5 of this
proclamation.
(13) No drawback shall be available with respect to the duties imposed
pursuant to this proclamation.
(14) The Secretary may issue regulations and guidance consistent with this
proclamation, including to address operational necessity.
(15) Any provision of a previous proclamation or Executive Order that is
inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation is superseded to
the extent of such inconsistency.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
tenth day of February, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
