Recycled Materials Association: Ferrous and aluminum scrap not included in US new tariffs

Update time : 2025-02-20 17:30:20

The Washington-based Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) confirmed that the reinstated Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum imports do not apply to ferrous and aluminum scrap, allowing free trade across US borders.

Adam Shaffer, ReMA’s assistant vice president of international trade and global affairs, said that scrap had been excluded since the tariffs began in 2017-2018 and remains unaffected.

However, he noted that increased aluminum tariffs from 10% to 25% take effect on March 12, impacting imports from all nations, including Canada and Mexico. ReMA continues to monitor the potential effects of proposed reciprocal tariffs on recycled materials trade and find the best way to work with the new administration in order to reduce impacts.
