Almost five years after the first round of 25% tariffs were put on Chinese imports, it was trade irritants with Mexico and India, as well as concerns about tariff preference programs and the lack of a market-opening strategy, that senators dwelled on during the U.S. Trade Representative's appearance in front of the Finance Committee.

Importer to Appeal CIT Opinion Over Classification of Steel Conduit Tubing
March 20, 2023 by Jacob Kopnick|Litigation

Importer Shamrock Building Materials will appeal a Court of International Trade decision upholding CBP's classification of the company's steel conduit tubing imports from Mexico as steel tubing and not insulated fittings, according to a notice of appeal. Shamrock will take the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The trade court ruled that the "uncontested facts" show the tubing is not insulated and therefore subject to 25% Section 232 steel tariffs (see 2303140035) (Shamrock Building Materials v. U.S., CIT # 20-00074).
