The European Commission has published a 10-page provisional list of imported U.S. products, from peanut butter and orange juice to steel fasteners, that Europe is threatening to apply 25% import duties on unless the European Union is exempted from steel and aluminum duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Fastener + Fixing Magazine reports.

The list reportedly includes some fastener tariff codes: 73181410, 73181491, 73181499, 73181640, 73181660, 73181692, and 73181699.

“The products involved include self-tapping screws, spaced thread screws, blind rivet nuts, self-locking nut, and nuts,” writes F+F editor Will Lowry.

The EU seeks an exemption for all 28 of its member countries.

The Commission has asked for stakeholder views on the list of tariff codes, Part A of which covers EU imports from the United States worth EUR 2.8 billion annually. After notification to the WTO, retaliatory EU tariffs could be applied to this part of the list at any time. Part B of the list could be implemented after three years or when the WTO rules the U.S. duties illegal under international trade laws.

“This would bring the total of potential retaliatory tariffs to EUR 6.4 billion, the value of U.S. steel and aluminum imports from the EU,” Lowry writes.

According to the National Fastener Distributors Association and lawyers working for the country’s largest master distributor Brighton Best International, the U.S. duties on steel and aluminum do not affect imports of finished fastener products.

“Significantly, the list has been published just ahead of a meeting scheduled between EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström, and US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross,” Lowry writes in F+F. “President Trump has said Secretary Ross would lead efforts to remove EU tariffs and barriers, which he described as ‘horrific and unfair to U.S. farmers and manufacturers.”

Reuters quotes a Commission spokesperson as rejecting as unacceptable U.S. attempts to link a solution to market access or trade negotiations, emphasizing that the EU would not negotiate on exemption under these terms.

The Commission is requesting stakeholder comments on the list by 26 March. The full list can be accessed at: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2018/march/tradoc_156648.pdf.
