US Section 232 now taxes the full entered value of metal products (from 6 April 2026)

Foley & Lardner's 27 May 2026 analysis explains the revised Section 232 framework effective 6 April 2026. It replaced content-based valuation with the full entered value of the imported product:

Duty now generally applies to the whole value of the finished product rather than only its metal content, which materially raises duty exposure for goods that contain modest amounts of metal.
