Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and its Derivatives into the United States
This proclamation invokes Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to impose a minimum import price (MIP) program on polysilicon and its derivatives, a 15% ad valorem tariff on polysilicon derivatives, and directs the Secretary of Commerce to offer incentives for domestic production. It aims to protect and revive the U.S. polysilicon industry by restricting imports that threaten national security, particularly for semiconductor and solar supply chains.
To Facilitate Positive Adjustment to Competition from Imports of Quartz Surface Products
This proclamation imposes a 4-year tariff-rate quota on imports of quartz surface products (QSP) to protect the domestic industry from serious injury caused by increased imports. It excludes Canada, Mexico, Australia, CAFTA-DR countries, Colombia, Israel, Jordan, Korea, Panama, Peru, Singapore, and CBERA beneficiaries, and provides a developing-country exemption. The action is a safeguard measure under section 202 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials
This memorandum invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) Section 101 to declare that recoverable critical minerals and materials (such as black mass, end-of-life rare-earth magnets, and scrap) are essential to national defense and that the U.S. cannot meet defense needs without disrupting civilian markets. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations and take actions—including priority contracts and supply-chain interventions—to rapidly expand domestic recovery and processing of these materials, while explicitly excluding copper scrap already covered by a separate proclamation.
