# Tariff Trends 2026: An Urgent Briefing on Section 232 Changes

On April 2, 2026, the President issued a [Proclamation](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/04/strengthening-actions-taken-to-adjust-imports-of-aluminum-steel-and-copper-into-the-united-states/) significantly restructuring Section 232 tariffs on aluminum, steel, and copper import. These modifications affect rate structures, product scope, and how duties are calculated, creating immediate decisions for importers and customs brokers.
This webinar covers the key changes, what they mean for your shipments, and what you need to do now that the changes are in effect:

- How tariffs are now calculated and applied

- New rate tiers and when they apply

- Which products are newly exempt and which remain in scope

- Special provisions and reduced rates for qualifying goods

- Next steps for importers and brokers
**Presenter:**

- Marcus Eeman | Director, Customs, Flexport
