The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has opened a new period for manufacturers to advocate for tariff protections on steel and aluminum products. This 'Inclusion' process, initiated by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, allows for semi-annual requests to add products to existing tariffs, reminiscent of the approach taken from the Tariff Act of 1789. It emphasizes a return to dialogue over litigation, nurturing the domestic market and supporting American-made goods as a priority in economic policy.
The 'Inclusion' process signals a return to the Tariff Act of 1789, advocating for domestic production and a competitive landscape through open dialogue.
For the first time in nearly a century, U.S. producers face straightforward questions about domestic production and tariff protection for their goods.
