<p>Following two months of intensive discussions, the UK secured an expansive removal
of Section 232 tariffs on UK steel and aluminium exports to the US on 22 March. The
solution reached with the US is bespoke for the UK and reflects the needs and interests
of our steel and aluminium industries.</p><p>From 1 June 2022, the US will replace
its Section 232 tariffs on certain UK exports of steel and aluminium with “tariff-rate
quotas” (TRQs). This re-opens tariff-free access to the US market back to levels before
section 232 tariffs up to a specified volume. This will bring welcome relief to the
UK steel and aluminium industries which support the jobs of around 80,000 people across
the UK supply chain.</p>
