US Commerce Department investigates Manitowoc petition
08 May 2020
Based on a petition filed by Manitowoc, the U.S. Commerce Department has launched a national security investigation into imports of mobile cranes from Germany, Austria, Japan and other areas around the world. Â
Manitowoc applauded the U.S. Commerce Department for launching a Section 232 national security investigation into imports of mobile cranes from Germany, Austria, Japan and elsewhere. Manitowoc filed the complaint in December 2019, and the investigation could potentially lead to new U.S. tariffs on imports of such cranes.
