Samsung and LG Battling for Right to U.S. Market
Written by Sandy Williams
Two popular appliance manufacturers, Samsung and LG, are facing potential quotas and tariffs on imports of their products to the United States.
Earlier this month, following a global safeguard petition by Whirlpool, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted unanimously in a Section 201 investigation that a surge of large residential washer (LRW) imports was injuring the domestic industry. In a global safeguard action, imports can be barred for up to four years.
