Since the moment the tariffs were announced on steel and aluminum there has scarcely been a day that aspects of the plan have not changed. The imposition across the board then allowed exemptions for Canada and Mexico and then other nations were shown how they might also escape them. Was this a part of a bigger negotiation tactic aimed at China or really an effort to help steel makers? We really don't know but we are seeing reactions from steel users, and the construction sector is the most important of these - accounting for over 40% of steel consumption in the US. We will explore the latest and wait for the next round of changes.
This was the first of two Virtual Seminars on the recently announced steel and aluminum tariffs, the follow-up session, "Impact of Steel and Aluminum Tariffs on Contractor Pricing" was held on April 24th and addressed the legal and contractual issues that contractors may face as a result of price increases caused by the tariffs.
