The Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking public comments on an information collection related to Section 232 national security adjustments for imports, it said in a Federal Register notice.

BIS said the agency is collecting data as part of broader efforts by the commerce secretary to conduct investigations on the effects on U.S. national security of importing an article. Comments are due by Sept. 30.

BIS Seeks Comments on Information Collections Involving Import Delivery Verifications
July 25, 2025 |Commerce Dept.

The Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking public comments on two information collections related to the agency's delivery verification procedures for imports, it said in notices released July 25. Some foreign governments require U.S. importers of certain “strategic commodities” to provide the foreign supplier with a U.S. Delivery Verification Certificate, which validates that the items were received, BIS said in both notices. “This procedure increases the effectiveness of controls on the international trade of strategic commodities.” Comments for both collections are due Sept. 26.
