핵심 광물, 히토류 232조 조사

2025년 4월 15일, 도널드 트럼프 대통령은 무역확장법 제232조(Section 232)에 따라 미국 상무부에 핵심 광물 및 그 파생 제품의 수입이 국가 안보에 미치는 영향을 조사하도록 지시하는 행정명령을 발령했습니다. 이번 조치는 미국이 중국 등 소수 국가에 과도하게 의존하고 있는 핵심 광물의 가공 및 공급망 취약성을 해소하기 위한 것으로, 특히 희토류, 코발트, 니켈, 우라늄 등 전략 자원의 수입 구조를 전면적으로 재검토하는 데 목적이 있습니다. ​

행정명령에 따르면, 상무부는 180일 이내에 조사를 완료하고 대통령에게 보고서를 제출해야 합니다. 조사 대상에는 광물 원광의 추출 이후 금속, 금속 분말, 마스터 합금 등으로 가공된 ‘가공 핵심 광물’과 이를 활용한 반도체 웨이퍼, 배터리 음극재·양극재, 영구자석, 전기차, 풍력 터빈, 스마트폰, 레이더 시스템 등 ‘파생 제품’이 포함됩니다. ​

이번 조사는 미국의 핵심 광물 가공 능력 부족과 외국의 시장 왜곡 행위로 인한 공급망 리스크를 평가하고, 국내 생산 및 재활용 역량 강화 방안을 모색하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 특히, 중국이 희토류 수출을 제한하고 있는 상황에서, 미국의 공급망 안정성과 경제 안보를 확보하기 위한 조치로 해석됩니다. ​

한국 기업들은 이러한 변화에 주의해야 합니다. 특히, 중국산 핵심 광물이나 그 파생 제품을 활용하는 경우, 미국 수출 시 관세 부담이 증가할 수 있으므로 공급망 관리와 원산지 규정 준수에 각별한 주의가 필요합니다. 또한, 미국 내 가공 및 조립 설비 확보, 또는 공급망 다변화 전략을 고려해야 할 시점입니다.​

향후 상무부의 조사 결과에 따라 추가적인 관세 부과나 수입 제한 조치가 시행될 수 있으므로, 관련 기업들은 지속적인 모니터링과 대응 전략 마련이 필요합니다.

중국 관세율 왜 최대 245% 인가?

2025년 4월 16일 백악관은 홈페이지에 공개한 팩트시트를 통해 “중국은 보복 행동의 결과, 이제 최대 245%의 미국 수입품(중국의 대미 수출품) 관세에 직면했다”고 했습니다. 하지만 이에 대하여 구체적인 설명을 하지 않아 의구심을 자아내고 있습니다.

최대 245%는 중국산 물품 중 일부에 한정 가능한 관세율로 아래와 같이 계산됩니다.

  • IEEPA 1 펜타닐 및 국경 통제 관련 관세 조치: 20%
  • 섹션 301 관세율 강화 조치: 100% (특정 전기차, 주사기 등)
  • IEEPA 2 상호 관세 조치: 125%
  • 합계: 245%

Scope of Investigation

The proposed scope of these investigations is as follows:

The merchandise covered by this order is superabsorbent polymers (“SAP”), insoluble in water, which result from a polymerization of primarily acrylic acid monomer molecules (or its sodium salts) with crosslinkers to form crosslinked polymer networks, with a high capacity to absorb and retain water and aqueous liquids, originating from the Republic of Korea.

All forms and sizes of SAP, regardless of packaging type, including but not limited to granules, pellets, powder, flakes, liquid, or gel are within the scope of this order.

The scope also includes SAP that is combined, commingled, or mixed with other products. For such combined products, only the SAP component is covered by the scope of this order. SAP that has been combined with other products is included within the scope, regardless of whether the combining occurs in third countries. A combination is excluded from this order if the total SAP component of the combination (regardless of the source or sources) comprises less than 5 percent of the combination, on a dry weight basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing language, an SAP combination that is transformed through a chemical reaction or physical process into another product such that the SAP can no longer be separated from the other products is excluded from the scope.

SAP is classified under HTSUS subheading 3906.90.5000. Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive.

Korean Producers:

  • Hankook Tire
  • Kumho Tire
  • Nexen Tire

Scope of Covered Merchandise:

PVLT Tires from Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam

The scope of these investigations is passenger vehicle and light truck tires. Passenger vehicle and light truck tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a passenger vehicle or light truck size designation. Tires covered by these orders may be tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non- radial, and they may be intended for sale to original equipment manufacturers or the replacement market.

Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol “DOT” on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also have the following prefixes or suffix in their tire size designation, which also appears on the sidewall of the tire:

Prefix designations:

P – Identifies a tire intended primarily for service on passenger cars. LT – Identifies a tire intended primarily for service on light trucks.

Suffix letter designations:

LT – Identifies light truck tires for service on trucks, buses, trailers, and multipurpose passenger vehicles used in nominal highway service.

All tires with a “P” or “LT” prefix, and all tires with an “LT” suffix in their sidewall markings are covered by this investigation regardless of their intended use.

In addition, all tires that lack a “P” or “LT” prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, as well as all tires that include any other prefix or suffix in their sidewall markings, are included in the scope, regardless of their intended use, as long as the tire is of a size that fits passenger cars or light trucks. Sizes that fit passenger cars and light trucks include, but are not limited to, the numerical size designations listed in the passenger car section or light truck section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, as updated annually. The scope includes all tires that are of a size that fits passenger cars or light trucks, unless the tire falls within one of the specific exclusions set out below.

Passenger vehicle and light truck tires, whether or not attached to wheels or rims, are included in the scope. However, if a subject tire is imported attached to a wheel or rim, only the tire is covered by the scope.

Specifically excluded from the scope are the following types of tires:

  • Racing car tires; such tires do not bear the symbol “DOT” on the sidewall and may be marked with “ZR” in size designation;
  • pneumatic tires, of rubber, that are not new, including recycled and retreaded tires;
  • non-pneumatic tires, such as solid rubber tires;
  • tires designed and marketed exclusively as temporary use spare tires for passenger vehicles which, in addition, exhibit each of the following physical characteristics:
    • The size designation and load index combination molded on the tire’s sidewall are listed in Table PCT–1B (“T” Type Spare Tires for Temporary Use on Passenger Vehicles) or PCT-1B (“T” Type Diagonal (Bias) Spare Tires for Temporary Use on Passenger Vehicles) of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book,
    • the designation “T” is molded into the tire’s sidewall as part of the size designation, and,
    • the tire’s speed rating is molded on the sidewall, indicating the rated speed in MPH or a letter rating as listed by Tire and Rim Association Year Book, and the rated speed is 81 MPH or a “M” rating;
  • tires designed and marketed exclusively for specialty tire (ST) use which, in addition, exhibit each of the following conditions:
    • The size designation molded on the tire’s sidewall is listed in the ST sections of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book,
    • the designation “ST” is molded into the tire’s sidewall as part of the size designation,
    • the tire incorporates a warning, prominently molded on the sidewall, that the tire is “For Trailer Service Only” or “For Trailer Use Only”,
    • the load index molded on the tire’s sidewall meets or exceeds those load indexes listed in the Tire and Rim Association Year Book for the relevant ST tire size, and
    • either
      • the tire’s speed rating is molded on the sidewall, indicating the rated speed in MPH or a letter rating as listed by Tire and Rim Association Year Book, and the rated speed does not exceed 81 MPH or an “M” rating; or
      • the tire’s speed rating molded on the sidewall is 87 MPH or an “N” rating, and in either case the tire’s maximum pressure and maximum load limit are molded on the sidewall and either
        • both exceed the maximum pressure and maximum load limit for any tire of the same size designation in either the passenger car or light truck section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book; or
        • if the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on the tire is less than any cold inflation pressure listed for that size designation in either the passenger car or light truck section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, the maximum load limit molded on the tire is higher than the maximum load limit listed at that cold inflation pressure for that size designation in either the passenger car or light truck section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book;
  • tires designed and marketed exclusively for off-road use and which, in addition, exhibit each of the following physical characteristics:
    • The size designation and load index combination molded on the tire’s sidewall are listed in the off-the-road, agricultural, industrial or ATV section of the Tire and Rim Association Year Book,
    • in addition to any size designation markings, the tire incorporates a warning, prominently molded on the sidewall, that the tire is “Not For Highway Service” or “Not for Highway Use”,
    • the tire’s speed rating is molded on the sidewall, indicating the rated speed in MPH or a letter rating as listed by the Tire and Rim Association Year Book, and the rated speed does not exceed 55 MPH or a “G” rating, and
    • the tire features a recognizable off-road tread design.
