More Comments Sought on Section 232 Tariffs for Downstream Electrical Steel Goods

The Commerce Department is allowing more time for comments on its new Section 232 investigation into transformer parts made from electrical steel, it said in a notice. Comments are now due July 3, and rebuttal comments are due July 24. The investigation (see 2005040059) follows years of complaints that companies could avoid 25% tariffs on electrical steel by buying assemblies of that kind of steel.
