Aboud: North America must coordinate to handle unfair imports
Written by Matt Aboud
Trade topics continue to be in the news in the aluminum industry.
On Aug. 26, the Government of Canada announced that it will impose 25% tariffs on imports of Chinese-origin aluminum products, in addition to tariff increases on Chinese EVs and steel products. The aluminum tariff is set to enter into effect Oct. 15. These tariffs are part of a broader move by the Canadian government, which also includes 100% tariffs on Chinese clean vehicles, aligning with a similar recent announcement by the United States.
