Section 232 Appeal a Frustrating Process for Priefert
Written by Tim Triplett
The good news is that the Commerce Department has finally approved Priefert Manufacturing’s request to exclude one of its products from the Section 232 tariff. The bad news is that the company still may never see a refund of the $700,000 it has paid out in unfair duties.
Priefert Manufacturing is a service center and manufacturer of ranching equipment based in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. Chris Shipp, Priefert’s Vice President of Supply Chain, expressed his frustration with the tariff exclusion process in comments during Steel Market Update’s recent steel summit in Atlanta.
