Section 232 Wind Turbine Tariff: No New Duty, but the Metals Tariffs Still Apply
Chen Cui Co-Founder of GingerControl No new tariff. Proclamation 11074, signed October 22, 2026 and published October 28, finds that wind turbine imports threaten national security but orders negotiations instead, with an update due by April 20, 2027, 180 days on. Wind imports still pay the steel and aluminum tariffs it leaves in place, on full customs value: 50% on tubular steel towers, 25% on listed generating sets, nacelle parts, blades, hubs, generators and gearboxes that are at least 15% steel and aluminum by weight. For a manufacturer with 3,000 imported part numbers, the job this quarter is checking each line against those lists.

At GingerControl we build trade compliance AI, and the first thing we did with this proclamation was run the nine wind-specific HTS statistical lines through Chapter 99 of the current tariff schedule (2026 Revision 21). The headline says "no tariff". The schedule says most of these lines already pay one, and the 15% weight test decides which stack a blade or nacelle part lands in.
Is there a Section 232 tariff on wind turbines now?
There is no new Section 232 tariff on wind turbines: Proclamation 11074 sets no rate, adds no Chapter 99 heading and directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to negotiate with trading partners instead [1]. The President found it "necessary and appropriate to enter into negotiations with foreign trading partners to adjust the imports of wind turbines and their components and subcomponents" [1].
The existing metals tariffs stay exactly where they were. Clause (4) of the proclamation reads: "Nothing in this proclamation modifies the tariffs imposed pursuant to Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10962, as amended, or any other tariffs imposed pursuant to section 232" [1]. Those are the aluminum, steel and copper actions, and paragraph 10 of the same proclamation says "certain wind turbine components and subcomponents are subject to" them [1].
The proclamation is the last step in a 14-month sequence, and the duty wind importers pay today was set two steps earlier.

What did the Section 232 wind turbine investigation find?
The Secretary of Commerce found that wind turbines and their components and subcomponents "are being imported into the United States under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security", and the President concurred [1]. The investigation had opened on August 13, 2025 [2]. The proclamation lists the Secretary's reasons:
- Cybersecurity: imported networked inverters "are an exploitable vulnerability that can allow remote access and interference with United States power systems."
- Radar: turbines create "clutter" that can obscure targets and degrade air traffic control, weather forecasting and military radar.
- Grid reliability: wind is "inherently intermittent" and leans on fossil-fuel backup generation.
- Import reliance: component imports have risen over the last decade, while domestic capacity for products such as blades "has not meaningfully increased."
Wind is the third Section 232 investigation concluded in 2026 to end in negotiations rather than a duty, out of seven proclamations this year that acted on a new product investigation (amendments to the metals actions, such as Proclamation 11021, are not counted). Robotics and industrial machinery followed six days later: Proclamation 11077 of October 28, 2026 also chose negotiations, and our Section 232 robotics and industrial machinery guide shows which machines already pay the 15% metals tier.
| Proclamation | Signed | Products | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11074 | October 22, 2026 | Wind turbines, parts and components | Negotiations, no duty |
| 11055 | August 13, 2026 | Unmanned aircraft systems and components | Duties, from September 3, 2026 (Annex III components from February 9, 2027) |
| 11052 | August 6, 2026 | Polysilicon and derivatives | Duties, from December 4, 2026 (not yet in force) |
| 11040 | July 9, 2026 | Commercial aircraft, jet engines and parts | Negotiations, no duty |
| 11020 | April 2, 2026 | Patented pharmaceuticals and ingredients | Duties |
| 11002 | January 14, 2026 | Covered semiconductors | Duties |
| 11001 | January 14, 2026 | Processed critical minerals and derivatives | Negotiations, no duty |
Bottom line: For a wind OEM's trade team briefing a CFO this week, the answer is "no new line on the entry". The full Section 232 rate table shows which programs did produce duties; for wind parts, the one that applies is the steel and aluminum derivative program.
Which wind turbine parts already pay Section 232 metals duty?
Tubular steel wind towers pay 50%, and the listed wind generating sets, their parts, blades, hubs, wind generators and wind gearboxes pay 25% when steel and aluminum make up at least 15% of their weight, both on full customs value [5]. The Chapter 84 and 85 wind lines entered the steel and aluminum derivative lists on August 18, 2025, when BIS added 407 HTS codes and charged the duty on "the steel and aluminum content" [3]. Steel towers were already there: 7308.20.00 has been on the steel derivative list since March 12, 2025 [13], and the August round added the wind tower line to the aluminum list. Since 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 6, 2026, the duty applies "to the full customs value of the imported product, regardless of metal content" [4].
Here are the nine wind-specific statistical lines, read from Chapter 99 of HTS 2026 Revision 21:
| HTS line | Article | MFN rate | Section 232 metals duty | Section 301, China origin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7308.20.0035 | Tubular wind turbine towers and sections | Free | 50% (9903.82.02), no weight test | 25% (List 2, 9903.88.02) |
| 8502.31.00 | Wind-powered generating sets | 2.5% | 25% (9903.82.09) at 15% or more steel and aluminum by weight | 25% (List 1, 9903.88.01) |
| 8503.00.9570 | Parts of wind-powered generating sets | 3% | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 2, 9903.88.02) |
| 8412.90.9070 | Wind turbine blades | Free | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 3, 9903.88.03) |
| 8412.90.9075 | Wind turbine hubs | Free | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 3, 9903.88.03) |
| 8501.64.0110 | AC generators for wind-powered generating sets | 2.4% | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 1, 9903.88.01) |
| 8503.00.9546 | Parts of those wind AC generators | 3% | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 2, 9903.88.02) |
| 8483.40.5020 | Gear boxes and speed changers for wind turbines | 2.5% | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 3, 9903.88.03) |
| 8483.90.5020 | Parts of wind turbine gear boxes and speed changers | 2.5% | 25% (9903.82.09), same weight test | 25% (List 3, 9903.88.03) |
Sources: U.S. note 16(c) lists (ii) and (iv) for the tower line, lists (vi) and (vii) for the rest; headings 9903.82.02, 9903.82.03 and 9903.82.09; U.S. note 20 lists for Section 301 [5]. MFN rates from the Chapter 73, 84 and 85 schedules [6].
Three variations change the 25% line. Goods of the United Kingdom with at least 95% UK-melted steel or UK-smelted aluminum pay 15% on these lists (9903.82.05). Goods whose steel content is at least 85% U.S.-melted and poured and whose aluminum content is at least 85% U.S.-smelted and cast pay 10% (9903.82.06); every wind line sits on both a steel and an aluminum list, and note 16(e) makes the two tests cumulative. And AD/CVD duties "shall continue to be imposed" on top, which matters for towers [5]. Our Section 232 steel and aluminum guide walks through the tiers for every other metals line.
Bottom line: For a wind component importer with 3,000 part numbers, the tower lines are the simple case: 50% on full value whatever the steel weight. Every wind line in Chapters 84 and 85 turns on one fact the entry has to support, the steel and aluminum share of the part's weight.
What does the 15% metal-weight test change for blades and nacelles?
For listed lines outside Chapters 72, 73, 74 and 76, the metals duty applies only where the listed metal is "at least 15 percent of the weight of the imported article"; below that, the entry takes heading 9903.82.03 and owes no Section 232 duty [5]. Wind lines in Chapters 84 and 85 appear on both the aluminum list (vi) and the steel list (vii), so the note's aggregation rule applies: "use the aggregate weight of the listed metals" [5].
What happens next is easy to miss. U.S. note 52(f) exempts Section 232 metals goods from the forced-labor Section 301 duties, but only for goods under heading 9903.82.02 or headings 9903.82.04 through 9903.82.26 [5]. Heading 9903.82.03 is not in that range. That reading rests on the note's text: CBP has not addressed 9903.82.03 separately in its forced-labor guidance, so confirm the entry treatment with your licensed broker. A wind line that falls under the 15% test leaves the Section 232 stack and lands in the forced-labor one: 10% for goods of the EU (heading 9903.05.39 tops an MFN rate below 10% up to 10%) or India, 12.5% for China and Vietnam, and 10% for Mexico unless the part enters duty-free under USMCA, which note 52(h) exempts [5][7]. The 9903.05 heading table lists every economy's rate.
Quotable insight: The 15% weight test does not take a wind turbine blade out of the tariff stack; it moves the blade from one stack to another. At 15% or more steel and aluminum by weight, the blade pays 25% under Section 232 and is exempt from the forced-labor Section 301. Below 15%, U.S. note 52(f) drops that exemption with the Section 232 line: 10% for an EU blade, 12.5% for a Chinese one, plus its 25% China-list duty.
On a $1,000,000 entry of EU-made blades, the weight test is the difference between $250,000 and $100,000 of duty; on Chinese-made blades it is $500,000 against $375,000.
Source: HTS 2026 Revision 21, Chapter 99 U.S. notes 16, 20 and 52; rates in force October 28, 2026
See the data
| Origin and metal weight share | Duty |
|---|---|
| EU, 15% or more metal | $250K |
| EU, under 15% metal | $100K |
| China, 15% or more metal | $500K |
| China, under 15% metal | $375K |
The arithmetic: an EU blade at 15% or more pays 25% Section 232 and nothing else; under 15% it pays the 10% forced-labor rate. A Chinese blade at 15% or more pays 25% Section 232 plus 25% List 3; under 15% it pays 12.5% forced-labor plus 25% List 3. The weight share is a fact the importer of record has to be able to prove for each part number, from drawings, bills of materials or supplier declarations, and the heading on the entry follows it. GingerControl identifies and documents the opportunity; your licensed broker or counsel files.
What happens at the 180-day mark?
Commerce and USTR must give the President at least one update on the talks within 180 days, by April 20, 2027, and the statute then forces a choice [1]. Under 19 U.S.C. 1862(c)(3)(A), if no agreement is entered into within 180 days, "the President shall take such other actions as the President deems necessary", with notice in the Federal Register; under (c)(3)(B), a decision to take no further action must also be published "and the reasons on which such determination is based" [8]. The proclamation itself keeps the door open: "Depending on the status or outcome of such negotiations, I may consider alternative remedies in the future" [1].
The 2026 precedents are short. Processed critical minerals, the first negotiation outcome of the year, reached its 180-day mark on July 13, 2026 [9]. A Federal Register search on October 28, 2026 shows no later presidential document adjusting imports of processed critical minerals under Section 232. Commercial aircraft reaches its mark on January 5, 2027 [10].
My view: price 2027 bids on the metals duty you pay today and carry the 180-day mark as a scenario, not a base case. The law sets a decision date on April 20, 2027, not a tariff, and the one 2026 negotiation whose clock has run out has produced no new duty in the Federal Register so far. That is a reading of two data points, not a forecast.
How should a wind component importer prepare?
Start with the lines you already import: map every part number to its 10-digit HTS line, flag the ones on the U.S. note 16(c) lists, and record the steel and aluminum share of each part's weight. For a two-person trade team with 3,000 part numbers, that is a data task before it is a tariff task.
- Map part numbers to HTS lines10-digit statistical numbers, not 6-digit headings
- Flag note 16(c) linesChapters 73, 84 and 85 first: the nine wind lines sit there
- Record metal weight shareSteel plus aluminum by weight, per part number, with the document behind it
- Add the other layersChina-list and forced-labor Section 301, AD/CVD on towers
- Watch April 20, 2027The 180-day update, and any Federal Register notice after it
Four points that come up in the first week:
- Towers carry AD/CVD as well. Commerce continued the antidumping duty orders on utility scale wind towers from Canada, Indonesia, Korea and Vietnam, and the countervailing duty orders on towers from Canada and Vietnam, in a notice published March 19, 2026 [11], and the ITC instituted five-year reviews of the antidumping duty orders on towers from India, Malaysia and Spain and the countervailing duty orders on India and Malaysia on July 1, 2026 [12]. Note 16(b) keeps those duties in place alongside the Section 232 line [5].
- USMCA does not lift the metals duty. Note 16(b) collects the Section 232 duty "in addition to any special rate of duty", and the USMCA content split in note 16(j) covers only list (c)(xi), not the wind lines [5].
- Melt-and-pour records earn the lower rates. The 10% U.S.-metal rate needs at least 85% U.S.-melted and poured steel content and at least 85% U.S.-smelted and cast aluminum content; the UK rate needs 95% UK-melted steel or UK-smelted aluminum [5]. Without supplier records, the standard rate applies. GingerControl identifies and documents the opportunity; your licensed broker or counsel files.
- The lists can grow. The derivative lists have changed by inclusion before (August 2025) and by proclamation (April 2026). Our guide to monitoring the Section 232 derivative inclusion list covers how to watch them against your own codes, and how tariff stacking works covers the order the layers apply in.
How to read your own lines. If a part is a tower section under 7308.20.0035, budget 50% on full value, or 25% for a qualifying UK tower and 10% if it meets both U.S.-metal tests, plus any AD/CVD for its origin. If it is one of the Chapter 84 or 85 wind lines and your records show 15% or more steel and aluminum by weight, budget 25%, or 15% for qualifying UK metal and 10% for qualifying U.S. metal. If your records show less than 15%, budget no Section 232 line but the forced-labor rate for its origin, unless a USMCA exemption applies. If the part is Chinese, add its 25% China-list duty either way. And if you cannot document the weight share, you cannot support the lower outcome on the entry.
Putting the wind turbine proclamation against your own parts list
A rule like this one changes nothing on Monday's entries and everything in the questions the CFO asks. GingerOS, GingerControl's AI trade compliance platform, runs on your process and the data you have, ERP or not: it checks every SKU a new rule touches and shows each affected part's new duty and next step, so the 3,000-part answer comes from your own records instead of a spreadsheet rebuilt each time. It starts with Prototype Week: one call, then a clickable prototype of your own flow in three days. See GingerOS run on your own wind parts list

Questions people ask
We assemble turbines from imported parts: is there a Section 232 tariff on wind turbines now?
No new one. Proclamation 11074, signed October 22, 2026, found that wind turbine imports threaten national security but ordered negotiations instead of a tariff. Your imports still pay the steel and aluminum Section 232 tariffs the proclamation leaves unchanged: for a turbine maker importing nacelle parts, blades and towers, that means 50% on steel towers and 25% on listed parts that are at least 15% steel and aluminum by weight.
What did the Section 232 wind turbine investigation find about imported turbines and parts?
Commerce found that wind turbines and their components and subcomponents are imported under circumstances that threaten to impair U.S. national security, citing cybersecurity risk in imported networked inverters, radar clutter, grid intermittency and reliance on imported components. The investigation opened on August 13, 2025. The President concurred on October 22, 2026 and chose negotiations with trading partners, with an update due within 180 days.
Our towers already pay Section 232 steel duty: do wind turbine parts owe a second wind turbine duty?
No. Proclamation 11074 creates no wind turbine duty and says nothing in it modifies the steel, aluminum or copper tariffs. A tower section or blade that pays the metals duty today pays that one Section 232 line, not two. For an importer reconciling broker invoices, a second Section 232 line on a wind part would be an error to query, not a new rule.
For our towers, nacelle parts and blades, which Section 232 metals rate applies: 50% or 25%?
Steel wind towers (7308.20.0035) pay 50% under heading 9903.82.02. Wind-powered generating sets, their parts, blades, hubs, wind generators and wind gearboxes sit on the 25% lists under heading 9903.82.09, only when steel and aluminum make up at least 15% of the part's weight. On the 25% lines, UK goods with at least 95% UK-melted steel or UK-smelted aluminum pay 15% (a qualifying UK tower pays 25%), and goods that meet both 85% U.S.-metal tests pay 10%, towers included.
Our 2025 landed-cost model used metal content: is the Section 232 duty on wind turbine parts now charged on full value?
Full customs value, for goods entered from 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 6, 2026, under Proclamation 11021. The August 2025 inclusion that added wind generating sets, their parts, blades, hubs and wind gearboxes to the derivative lists charged the duty on steel and aluminum content only, so rebuild any 2025 model on each part's full value. Steel towers were already on the steel derivative list from March 12, 2025.
What happens to a wind turbine blade or nacelle part with less than 15% steel and aluminum by weight?
It takes heading 9903.82.03 and owes no Section 232 duty, but on the text of U.S. note 52(f) it also loses the forced-labor Section 301 exemption, which covers only goods under 9903.82.02 and 9903.82.04 to 9903.82.26. An EU or Indian blade then pays 10%, a Chinese blade 12.5% plus its 25% China-list duty. The weight share has to be documented for every part number that relies on it.
We buy generators and blades from China: does Section 301 stack on the Section 232 metals duty?
Yes. The China-list Section 301 duties apply on top: 25% on wind-powered generating sets and wind generators (List 1), towers and generating-set and generator parts (List 2), and blades, hubs, wind gearboxes and their parts (List 3). A Chinese blade at 15% or more metal by weight pays 25% plus 25%, half its customs value, before MPF and HMF.
Our nacelle parts come from a Mexican plant: does USMCA exempt them from the Section 232 metals duty?
No. U.S. note 16(b) to Chapter 99 says the Section 232 metals duties are collected in addition to any free trade agreement rate. The USMCA content split in note 16(j) applies only to one other list of steel derivatives, not to the wind lines. A Mexican-made nacelle part at 15% or more metal by weight pays 25% whether or not it qualifies for USMCA.
What happens at the 180-day mark for the wind turbine negotiations in April 2027?
Commerce and USTR must update the President by April 20, 2027. Under 19 U.S.C. 1862(c)(3), if no agreement is reached within 180 days the President must either take other actions, published in the Federal Register, or publish a determination not to act. For a project team bidding 2027 deliveries, that date is a decision point, not a tariff start date.
How should we price 2027 wind project bids while the Section 232 talks run?
Price each imported component on the duty layers in force today, by origin, then carry a separate scenario for a possible Section 232 action after April 20, 2027. Chen Cui's view: a bid that bakes in an unannounced wind tariff overprices against competitors, while a bid with no scenario at all leaves margin exposed if talks fail on EU or Chinese supply.
With 3,000 imported part numbers, how do we check which wind turbine parts are on the Section 232 metals lists?
Match each part number's 10-digit HTS number against the lists in U.S. note 16(c) to Chapter 99, then record each part's steel and aluminum weight share. Start with Chapters 73, 84 and 85, where all nine wind lines sit. GingerOS, GingerControl's AI trade compliance platform, checks every SKU against a new rule from your own records and shows each affected part's new duty.
