Steel, Aluminum Tariffs Imposed for Canada, Mexico, Europe

5/31/2018

 
Picture
The U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced the imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs for Canada, Mexico and the European Union effective June 1. These countries were previously spared from the March 23 imposed 25 percent tariff on imported steel and 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum. At least 30 percent of imported steel came from these nations in 2017. As a result, contractors may expect further increases in domestic steel prices and mill delivery delays that could increase their construction costs and delay project delivery. These countries are expected to subject U.S. goods to trade retaliation. 

AGC continues to advocate for members before the Administration and Congress:

  • AGC urged the president to take a more calculated trade response on steel and aluminum tariffs
  • AGC noted its concerns in response to a House Ways and Means hearing on the topic of tariffs (attached)
  • AGC submitted comments to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative about its concerns with Chinese construction products and materials being subject to tariffs aimed at Chinese efforts to undermine American intellectual property rights, innovation or technology.
  • AGC remains engaged through multi-industry coalition efforts
 
In addition, AGC continues to generate media coverage on the impacts of the tariffs on the construction industry.
