Partner [Eric McClafferty](/Our-People/Eric-McClafferty) and government relations professional, [Maggie Crosswy](/Our-People/Maggie-C-Crosswy), co-authored the *Valve Magazine* cover article ​“Tariff Pressure Builds on Valve Industry.” In the last year, tariffs have dominated U.S. trade policy, including global Section 232 tariffs on major valve industry inputs – steel and aluminum – and 301 tariffs on Chinese valve products under Section 301. In this article, Eric and Maggie explain the background of the tariffs, the current processes in place for exclusions, the options available to manufacturers and a look to the future.
