Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
The U.S. Commerce Department announced it is raising steel and aluminum tariffs on over 400 products, including appliances, heavy equipment, marine engines, furniture and more. The department says more categories are being added to the list of steel and aluminum products covered by the 50% tariffs.
“Today’s action expands the reach of the steel and aluminum tariffs and shuts down avenues for circumvention—supporting the continued revitalization of the American steel and aluminum industries,” says Jeffrey Kessler, U.S. secretary of commerce for industry and security.
Air-conditioning units, space heaters, high chairs, knives and some furniture items are among the products newly affected by tariffs.
