Proclamation 10356 of March 31, 2022 

Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

1. On January 11, 2018, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) transmitted 

to the President a report on the Secretary’s investigation into the effect 

of imports of steel mill articles (steel articles) 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). The Secretary found and advised the 

President of his opinion that steel articles are 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 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into 

the United States), the President concurred in the Secretary’s finding that 

steel articles, as defined in clause 1 of Proclamation 9705, as amended 

by clause 8 of Proclamation 9711 of March 22, 2018 (Adjusting Imports 

of Steel Into the United States), are 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 those steel articles by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such 

articles imported from all countries except Canada and Mexico. The proclamation further stated that any country with which we have a security 

relationship is welcome to discuss with the United States alternative ways 

to address the threatened impairment to 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 the President determines that imports 

from that country no longer threaten to impair the national security, the 

President may remove or modify the restriction on steel 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. The United States has successfully concluded discussions with Japan 

on satisfactory alternative means to address the threatened impairment to 

the national security posed by imports of steel articles and derivative steel 

articles from Japan. The United States and Japan have agreed to expand 

coordination involving trade remedies and customs matters, monitor bilateral 

steel and aluminum trade, cooperate on addressing non-market excess capacity and carbon intensity in these sectors, and annually review their arrangement and their ongoing cooperation. 

4. The United States will implement a number of actions, including a 

tariff-rate quota that restricts the quantity of steel articles imported into 

the United States from Japan without the application of the tariff proclaimed 

in Proclamation 9705. Under the arrangement, steel articles that are melted 

and poured in Japan are eligible for in-quota treatment. In my judgment, 

these measures will provide an effective, long-term alternative means to 

address any contribution by Japanese steel articles imports to the threatened 

impairment to the national security by restraining steel articles imports 

to the United States from Japan, limiting transshipment, discouraging excess 

steel capacity and production, and strengthening the United States-Japan 

partnership. In light of this agreement, I have determined that imports of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with FR_PREZDOC4
19352 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 63 / Friday, April 1, 2022 / Presidential Documents 

specified volumes of eligible steel articles from Japan will no longer threaten 

to impair the national security and have decided to exclude such imports 

from Japan up to a designated quota from the tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705. The United States will monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the tariff-rate quota and other measures agreed upon with Japan 

in addressing our national security needs, and I may revisit this determination, as appropriate. 

5. The alternative means, including the tariff-rate quota, advance the recommendations contained in the Secretary’s January 2018 report. The agreedupon aggregate tariff-rate quota volume specified in the agreement between 

the United States and Japan, totaling 1.25 million metric tons, is consistent 

with the objective of reaching and maintaining a sufficient capacity utilization 

rate in the domestic steel industry. 

6. In light of my determination to adjust the tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 

9705 as applied to eligible steel articles imported from Japan, I have considered whether it is necessary and appropriate in light of our national security 

interests to make any corresponding adjustments to such tariff as it applies 

to other countries. I have determined that it is necessary and appropriate, 

at this time, to maintain the current tariff level as it applies to other countries. 

7. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, authorizes 

the President 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. 

8. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), 

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, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States 

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution 

and the laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade 

Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, section 301 of title 3, United States 

Code, and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, do hereby 

proclaim as follows: 

(1) To establish a tariff-rate quota on imports of steel articles from Japan 

as set forth in paragraph 4 of this proclamation, U.S. Note 16 of subchapter 

III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS is amended as provided for in the Annex 

to this proclamation. Imports of steel articles from Japan in excess of the 

tariff-rate quota quantities shall remain subject to the duties imposed by 

clause 2 of Proclamation 9705, as amended. The Secretary, in consultation 

with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the United States Trade Representative, shall recommend to the President, as warranted, updates to 

the in-quota volumes contained in the Annex to this proclamation. Steel 

articles from Japan imported under an exclusion granted pursuant to clause 

3 of Proclamation 9705, as amended, shall count against the in-quota volume 

of the tariff-rate quota established in clause 1 of this proclamation. 

(2) Clause 2 of Proclamation 9705, as amended, is revised to read as 

follows: 

‘‘(2)(a) In order to establish certain modifications to the duty rate on 

imports of steel articles, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS is 

modified as provided in the Annex to this proclamation and any subsequent proclamations regarding such steel articles. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, or in notices published pursuant to clause 3 of this proclamation, all steel articles imports 

covered by heading 9903.80.01, in subchapter III of chapter 99 of the 

HTSUS, 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, as follows: (i) on or after 12:01 a.m.
