WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 2018 — Last week, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in Washington, D.C., began holding hearings on the most recent proposed Section 301 tariffs, which would place tariffs of up to 25% on $200 billion worth of products imported from China — including virtually all plumbing-related products and components.
If implemented as proposed, industry leaders say the tariffs will have disastrous consequences for American plumbing manufacturers, their employees and American consumers.
