SEC. 303. SPECIALTY STEEL PRODUCT TARIFFS.
It is the sense of Congress that every effort be taken
by the United States Government to conclude the Multilat-
eral Steel Agreement prior to the effective date of the leg-
islation enacted to implement the Uruguay Round of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. A principal ne-
gotiating objective of the United States in the Multilateral
Steel Agreement, with respect to unfair trade practices,
shall be to obtain rules ensuring the elimination of all inju-
rious subsidies. In this regard, prior to implementation of
the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade consideration shall be given by United States
negotiators to the potential impact the elimination of tar-
iffs on specialty steel products would have on the specialty
steel industry absent a successful conclusion of the MSA.
The term ‘‘specialty steel product’’ shall be defined as any
product classified under the following item numbers of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of United States: 7218–
7223, 
7224.10.0045, 
7224.90.0015–7224.90.0035,
7225.10–7225.20, 7225.30.10, 7225.30.50, 7225.40.10,
