EU Extends US Tariff Suspension Amid Steel, Aluminium Row

EU Extends US Tariff Suspension Amid Steel, Aluminium Row

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The European Union has today announced its decision to extend until 31 March 2025 the suspension of its rebalancing tariffs on US products in the context of the steel and aluminium dispute. Initially implemented during the Trump Presidency, the EU rebalancing tariffs on US exports were a response to the US "Section 232" tariffs on steel and aluminium.

This extension is the result of an agreement reached with the US. The EU prolongs the suspension of rebalancing tariffs in return for the US extending the suspension of its tariffs for historical trade volumes that are reflected in the Tariff-Rate Quota (TRQ) system established in January 2022. In addition, the US agreed to provide for further exclusions from the tariffs for EU exporters.

The extension, published today in the Official Journal of the EU, will result in EU steel and aluminium exporters saving approximately €1.5 billion in tariffs annually. The US must complete its own procedures to extend its TRQ system for EU exports of steel and aluminium as of 1 January 2024. This prolonged suspension of tariffs gives businesses on both sides of the Atlantic certainty, facilitating the smooth flow of trade.

The EU will continue to engage constructively with the US to preserve its legal rights and remove US 232 tariffs on EU exports for good. Work between the EU and the US also continues on addressing global overcapacity and decarbonisation of steel and aluminium sectors in the context of discussions on a Global Arrangement on Sustainable Steel and Aluminium (GSA). The mutual prolongation of tariff suspensions provides the necessary time and policy space to find agreement on the remaining GSA issues.
