Steel tariffs complicate Permian pipeline buildout

If a pipeline company decides to use imported steel for a US project, the Department of Commerce has provided a relief system through which companies may apply for an exemption from the tariffs for “any steel article determined not to be produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or a satisfactory quality.” More than 21,000 requests for exclusions have been submitted to the Commerce Department in response to the new levies.
