To provide for the liquidation or reliquidation of certain entries of steel and aluminum products retroactively approved for exclusion from certain duties.

HR 6541 directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund duties paid on specific steel and aluminum imports that were retroactively approved for exclusion from additional duties under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. It applies only to steel articles (Harmonized Tariff Schedule 9903.80.01) and aluminum articles (9903.85.01) that received retroactive exclusion approval from the Department of Commerce during 2020-2021. Importers must submit a request within 180 days of the bill’s enactment with details to verify eligibility, and refunds must be issued within 90 days of processing. This bill corrects past overpayments without interest, directly affecting businesses that paid duties on these excluded products.
