Alcoa requests tariff exemption
- August 8, 2018
- News Release
- Metals/Materials
Pittsburgh-based aluminum producer Alcoa has requested exemption from the 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum. The company wants to exclude some of its Canadian-produced aluminum rolling slab from the tariff, citing the need for the product to meet demand.
"Due to the unavailability of U.S. production of the exact slabs, or an acceptable substitute, meeting Alcoa's alloy and dimensional specifications, Alcoa must import these slabs in order to satisfy its U.S. manufacturing demands," Alcoa said in a statement on its website. "Payment of the Section 232 tariffs on these imports would result in Alcoa being less competitive both domestically and on an export basis for these products."
