Dear Customers and Friends,

 This is to inform you about the latest news on the now confirmed tariffs to be imposed on steel and aluminum which have been investigated under section 232.
President Trump signed an order today Thursday March 8th 2018 that imposes tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all foreign countries, while carving out an exception for Canada and Mexico for now, while North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiations are under way.
 
The president, joined by steel and aluminum workers, signed a companion proclamation — one on steel and one on aluminum – instituting a tariff of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum imports. The tariffs will become effective in 15 days, which would be March 23rd 2018 with exclusions for Mexico and Canada.
 
Please note, tariff exemptions to Mexico and Canada are not permanent and will be determined based on NAFTA negotiation results.
