Clarification on application of the new steel & alum duties
For both, steel & alum, there are two tiers
One is a full 25% on the entire value
A second tier is for partial duty on ONLY the portion that is steel or alum
The complete files are attached
Look for the HTS number. If it is listed in the derivative section it will ONLY be subject to 25% based on the VALUE that is either steel or alum
Also, very important, we will need the prices broken down for steel or alum content as well as the weight in kilo for all derivative content Duty will be paid on the steel or alum value provided
Also just as important we MUST be provided with the country of smelting and pouring of the steel or the alum
Best practice is to have this information on the invoices when submitted to us for processing.
A spreadsheet can also be provided by the client to assist us in paying the proper duties
