EU steel and aluminum quota entries can be transmitted beginning January 2, 2024 12:01 AM Local Port time.
CBP is preparing for deployment of the 2024 Section 232 EU Steel and Aluminum TRQ programs. The 2024 EU steel and aluminum quotas will be put in a “Hold” status, allowing entries for quota type merchandise to proceed in 2024. All properly filed entries will receive a “Quota Pending” message.
When the quota “Hold” is released quota will be accepted in first come, first served order based on the quota presentation dates of entries entered on hold. Quota limits will be filled chronologically until one or more entries with the same time stamp exceed programmed limits. These entries will be prorated. Entries with later presentation dates will be rejected to be refiled as over-quota entries.
