Coalition Backs Congress on Clarification of Tariff Exclusion Process
Written by Sandy Williams
Members of Congress have asked the Commerce Department to clarify and improve the process by which manufacturers apply for exclusions from Section 232 tariffs for raw materials required to produce their products. The following is a statement from the Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users commending the action and expressing concern over the use of tariffs.
The Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users today applauded Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN), Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), and 37 other Members of Congress who sent a letter to the Commerce Department yesterday seeking “significant improvement” to the process by which U.S. manufacturers seek exclusions from the Section 232 tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum for products that are not available in the U.S.
