Section 232

The Section 232 lens identifies which products are subject to Section 232 tariffs and analyzes the material sourcing that drives your exposure. It depends on a confirmed 10-digit HS code, and its results feed the Duties lens.

How it works

Altana checks each product against the Section 232 derivatives lists: steel, aluminum, copper, and wood. Products that are not on a list show Not Required. For products that are, the lens analyzes the materials that matter. For each material, the country of origin and the content percentage are shown as two independent values, each with its own suggestion and confidence, along with the estimated duty impact of that sourcing as a range.

How to use it

1. Open a product to review its materials.
2. Accept or override the country of origin and the content percentage independently of each other.
3. Mark a material as verified and attach documentation supporting the sourcing claim.

Products with a qualifying exemption (for example, automotive use) show 0% exposure. As you confirm materials, the estimated duty impact updates and flows into the Duties lens.

Requesting information from suppliers

When you need to confirm a material's country of origin or content percentage, you can request it directly from a supplier you work with, rather than chasing it offline. From a product, send a request to a direct supplier; their response flows back into the lens.

FAQ

Why does a product show Not Required? It is not on any Section 232 derivatives list (steel, aluminum, copper, or wood), so no material analysis is needed.

What does verifying a material do? It confirms the material's country of origin and content for the duty calculation and your records, and you can attach supporting documentation.

What does Section 232 need to run? A confirmed 10-digit HS code, plus the product's material composition for the duty impact.

How does this affect duty? Confirmed Section 232 materials flow into the Duties lens as part of the stacked rate.
