The United States has added 407 product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list, with an applicable tariff rate of 50%.

On August 19 local time, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that 407 product categories would be added to the steel and aluminum tariff list, with an applicable tariff rate of 50%.

The Department of Commerce stated that the newly added list covers a wide range of products, including wind turbines and their components, mobile cranes, railway vehicles, furniture, compressors, and pump equipment, among hundreds of other products.

The Trump administration has repeatedly emphasized the need to expand the coverage of steel and aluminum tariffs to protect domestic manufacturing and curb import dependency.

Previously, on the evening of August 15, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an announcement stating that the Bureau of Industry and Security had added 407 product codes to the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These products will be subject to additional tariffs due to their steel and aluminum content. The announcement noted that for parts of these products that are not steel or aluminum, the tariff rates imposed by President Trump on specific countries' goods will apply. The expanded tariff list officially took effect on August 18.
