US Confirms Steel, Aluminum Tariffs Stay, Allows Compliance Adjustments

(MENAFN) US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that while steel and aluminum tariffs could be modified for compliance purposes, the underlying levies will remain in place.

“You may want to sometimes adjust the way some of the tariffs are applied for compliance purposes,” Greer told a news outlet.

He noted the practical challenges companies face, adding, "We've heard stories of companies that have had to hire extra people for compliance. We're not trying to have people do so much bean counting they’re not running their company correctly."

Greer described the core metals tariffs as "very successful" in supporting domestic industry and emphasized that they would continue. “Clearly, those are going the right direction. They’re going to stay in place,” he said.

He also highlighted broader effects, stating that US tariffs have prompted other nations to reduce their own trade barriers, boosted exports, and helped curb inflation, calling the measures "incredibly successful."

Last year, President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on imported steel and aluminum, targeting excess production from countries such as China. The administration later expanded the duties to include derivative products containing these metals, a move that created additional compliance challenges for businesses trying to track content sources.
