The sweeping tariffs imposed by President-elect Trump aimed to disrupt foreign production and incentivize domestic manufacturing, but they also led to a huge lobbying response in Washington.
Companies quickly realized that securing a tariff exemption could provide significant competitive advantages, leading to the filing of nearly 500,000 exclusion requests to the Commerce Department alone.
While initially aimed to benefit U.S. industries, the tariff system evolved into a complex landscape where lobbying and legal strategies became crucial for many businesses seeking relief.
As Trump considers new tariffs, many companies are proactively seeking exemption assistance, signaling an ongoing reliance on lobbying to navigate the tariff landscape.
