Leibowitz on Trade: ITC Mulls Future of Section 232, 301 Tariffs

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) recently conducted hearings on the future of the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum as well as on the Section 301 tariffs on imports from China.

Congress mandated the ITC investigation in response to calls for the tariffs to be reduced or eliminated to fight inflation. Unlike the Section 301 import restrictions imposed on imports from China, Section 232 has no statutory requirement to review the impact of the measures.
