  • ProclamationJun 1, 2026
    Further Adjusting the Tariff Regimes for Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States

    This proclamation further modifies the section 232 tariff regimes on aluminum, steel, and copper imports established under Proclamations 9704, 9705, and 10962 and modified by Proclamation 11021. Effective June 8, 2026, it adds agricultural equipment and certain predominantly residential HVAC systems and components to the category of derivative products subject to the temporarily-reduced 15 percent ad valorem duty, and subjects aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks to the derivative product tariffs. It temporarily sets duties for mobile industrial equipment and machinery listed in Annex I-C at 25 percent, with lower rates for products of certain jurisdictions (including Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and EU member nations), for USMCA-qualifying products of Canada and Mexico (25 percent on non-U.S. content, subject to a 15 percent floor), and for products made from U.S.-smelted or -melted metal, until December 31, 2027, after which the Proclamation 11021 rates resume. It also lowers the threshold for a product's metal content to qualify as made "entirely" from American aluminum, steel, or copper from 95 percent to 85 percent, and directs the Secretary of Commerce, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement and monitor the modified regimes.

    This proclamation modifies the section 232 tariff regimes on aluminum, steel, and copper established under Proclamations 9704, 9705, and 10962 so that, effective April 6, 2026, the additional ad valorem duties apply to the full customs value of covered articles regardless of metal content.

    Regarding the Acquisition of Certain Assets of Emcore Corporation by Hiefo Corporation

    This EO finds credible evidence that HieFo Corporation—controlled by a citizen of the People’s Republic of China—may threaten U.S. national security through its completed April 30, 2024 acquisition of EMCORE’s digital chip and related wafer design/fabrication/processing assets, and asserts other laws are insufficient to address the risk. It therefore prohibits the transaction and any ongoing HieFo ownership, requires divestment within 180 days (subject to CFIUS extension), and imposes interim access, transfer, reporting, and audit/verification controls enforced and overseen by CFIUS.
