On May 31, 2018, Mexico’s Minister of Economy announced that Mexico will impose equivalent measures in response to the U.S. Section 232 tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum into the U.S.
Some of the products listed in the announcement include flat steel (hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel, including coated and various pipes), lamps, pork legs and shoulders, sausages and food preparations, apples, grapes, blueberries, and various cheeses. The full list, along with the statistical breakouts and their increased duty rates, are expected to be published soon.
The measure will remain in force until the U.S. government eliminates the Section 232 tariffs.
