Ag Groups, NRF, RILA, Border Trade Alliance Tell USTR Tariffs Not Justified on Mexican Produce
October 6, 2022 by Mara Lee|Top News

Florida lawmakers who have asked U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to start a Section 301 investigation on unfair support for Mexican produce exports are forum shopping after "prior U.S. government investigations have found that Mexican imports have not injured that segment of the U.S. industry," wrote 24 trade groups, mostly agriculture exporters, but also the National Retail Federation and Retail Industry Leaders Association.

New AD/CV Duties Requested on Freight Rail Couplers From China, Mexico
September 30, 2022 |AD/CV - Patent

A U.S. producer coalition seeks the imposition of new antidumping duties on freight rail couplers from China and Mexico and countervailing duties on the same product from China, it said in petitions filed Sept. 28 with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD/CVD on importers. The investigations were requested by the Coalition of Freight Coupler Producers.

Panel Debates Tariff Policy's Influence on Inflation
September 1, 2022 by Mara Lee|Top News

An economist and a former assistant U.S. trade representative for trade policy and economics agreed that rolling back the Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports would be modestly helpful to fight inflation, but that it wouldn't be noticeable to many consumers. Ed Gresser, the former assistant USTR now at the Progressive Policy Institute, a Washington think tank, said that he thinks the administration's talk that the best way to refine the Trump-era tariffs is to roll back those on consumer goods is misguided. "The effect there has been to shift a lot of purchasing to Vietnam, a little bit to Mexico and a little bit to India," he said, so he doesn't think inflation would change much if those tariffs are dialed back. He said the more inflationary part of the tariffs is the 25% tariffs on industrial inputs.
