The U.S. has imposed a 200 percent tariff on Russian-origin aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles, along with new reporting requirements for all aluminum imports.

Starting April 1, the U.S. will impose increased tariffs on other Russian products including metals, chemicals, and minerals.

As of April 10, the U.S. will impose a 200 percent tariff on aluminum or derivative aluminum articles, from any country, where any amount of primary aluminum used in the manufacture of the articles is smelted or cast in Russia.

To mark the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. government announced an expansion of trade and economic restrictions on Russia and Belarus. The actions include increased economic sanctions, expanded export controls and new tariffs. 

U.S. businesses sourcing Russian-origin aluminum articles and other products should carefully review the proclamations and accompanying annexes to determine if their imported merchandise is subject to the tariffs.

On Feb. 24, President Joe Biden  issued a proclamation  to impose 200 percent Section 232 tariffs on imports into the United States of Russian-origin aluminum and certain aluminum derivative articles and articles containing Russian-origin aluminum.
