On April 24, 2024 SSINA submitted comments to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Trade, Regulations and Rulings urge U.S. Customs and Border Protect (CBP) to adopt its proposed modification to CBP Form 7501 with regard to steel imports.
SSINA strongly supports the proposed revision to Form 7501 to add a new data field to collect information on the country of melt and pour for imported steel products. The required data field will provide CBP with an invaluable tool for ensuring that U.S. trade laws are properly enforced. In addition, as noted below, requiring the new melt and pour data will not create any additional administrative burden on U.S. importers or their suppliers, as they are already obligated to report such information to the U.S. Department of Commerce prior to the entry of steel products into the United States.
A copy of SSINA’s full comments can be read below.
