Dear Customers and Friends,

This is to inform you about the latest news on potential tariffs and quotas to be imposed on steel and aluminum which have been investigated under section 232.

U.S. President  Donald Trump plans to sign an order next week to impose 25% tariffs on steel imports and 10% duties on aluminum.

It is still unclear if tariffs or quotas will affect only specific countries, or for how long,  but it has been discussed on earlier studies and recommendations made by the US Commerce,  that tariffs or quotas could be assigned differently depending on country of origin.
