Last week, the Trump administration added hundreds of HTS codes to the Sec. 232 list of 50% steel and aluminum tariffs.

Among the impacted products are various forms of knives, as well as potentially others imported by ASA members. Click here to view the full list of HTS codes now included under Section 232.

As a reminder, the metal content is subject to these Section 232 tariffs, and the non-metal content is subject to IEEPA reciprocal tariffs. For more information on tariffs and how they are impacting the sportfishing industry, click the link below to visit ASA's Trade and Commerce Hub.
