President Trump amended tariff regimes on aluminum, steel, and copper products to address national security concerns while supporting domestic industries. The changes take effect on June 8, 2026 and apply to goods entered for consumption. The amendment expands the 15 % ad‑valorem duty to agricultural equipment and residential HVAC components, and temporarily lowers duties on mobile industrial equipment and machinery. It also brings aluminum lithographic plates and steel racks under the derivative tariff and reduces the threshold for “entirely” U.S. content from 95 % to 85 %. Customs will receive guidance on assessing U.S. content, and penalties will apply for fraud. The Secretary of Commerce will monitor imports and consult the Trade Representative to review the necessity of further action.
