April 2026 Section 232 update — what Texas steel and aluminum importers must know now
Section 232 tariffs now apply to the entire customs value of covered steel and aluminum — not just the metal content. HTS Chapters 72, 73, and 76 now face a 50% tariff on full value. Derivatives face 25%. A $1,000 item containing $200 of steel previously incurred a $100 duty. It now incurs $500. If you have not recalculated since April 6, your margin model is wrong.
Why Texas steel importers are using IroncladDuties
Section 232 hit your Laredo shipment overnight
Most Texas importers find out at the border. By then the margin is already gone.
Your OCTG landed cost is probably wrong
Steel pipe and tube importers underestimate true landed cost by 8–15% post-April 2026.
Is your Monterrey mill still your safest source?
USMCA rules of origin are shifting. Most Texas importers will not know until their COO gets rejected.
