Fujifilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems
Division has received tariff tax exclusions on aluminum offset printing plates,
currently making it the only major printing plate manufacturer in the U.S.
The U.S.
Commerce Department's Section 232 tariffs on imported aluminum remain in
effect. The Fujifilm division received exclusions on the majority of the 147
exclusion requests it filed several months ago.
“Our
resolve to challenge these tariffs has led to this outcome for our valued
customers,” said Todd Zimmerman, division president. “I sincerely appreciate
our customers’ patience and understanding as we worked through this difficult
situation. We will provide updates on this process as soon as we receive
further information from our contacts in the Commerce Department.”
In an
updating statement, Southern Lithoplate said
it had filed exclusion requests more than six months ago. Progress was slowed
when the government shut down, the company said. The company is in direct
contact with the Commerce Department and Sec. Wilbur Ross's staff, and "we
eagerly await further information," the update said.
