Leibowitz on Trade: New Rules for Product Exclusions
Written by Tim Triplett
Lewis Leibowitz, trade attorney and contributor to Steel Market Update, offers the following commentary on the latest developments in Washington:
After months of complaints, hearings, letters, denials, approvals and delay, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security published new rules on processes, criteria and time limits for specific product exclusions under the President’s Proclamations limiting steel and aluminum imports based on “national security.” The “interim” rules were published today in the Federal Register.
