Biden Raises Tariffs on Some Russian Steel, Ali and Ferroalloys to 35%

President Joe Biden has increased tariffs on some Russian and Belarussian steel, ferroalloys, and aluminum products to 35%, according to a presidential proclamation signed earlier this week and related documents.

That’s a significant increase from already higher duties on some products that went into effect earlier this year when Russia and Belarus were stripped of what’s known as “permanent normal trade relations.”
