Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.01.16
On August 30, 2016, DoD published a final rule that expands allowability of costs of actual or suspect counterfeit electronic parts and the cost of rework or corrective action due to their use. Whereas, previously, such costs were only allowable if the parts were government-furnished property, effective August 30, 2016, such costs will also be allowable if the parts are obtained in accordance with the newly added DFARS 252.246-7008 concerning sourcing of electronic parts; the contractor becomes aware of the part through inspection, testing, authentication, or other means; and it provides notice to the cognizant COs and GIDEP within 60 days of becoming aware.

EU Steel Overcapacity Regulation: New Permanent Measure in Force from 1 July 2026
The EU’s steel safeguard under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 expired on 30 June 2026 and has been replaced by a new permanent instrument — the EU Steel Overcapacity Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2026/1384) (the Regulation”). It imposes tariff-rate quotas and an out-of-quota duty, similarly to the steel safeguard measures that expired. The out-of-quota duty has been raised from 25% to 50% to minimize the risk of trade diversion. The Regulation reduces duty-free imports of 26 categories of steel products into the EU by an average of 47% compared with the quotas under the until recently applicable safeguard measures.
