TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 15, 2020 / Statement by Brian Kingston, President & CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association:
"The CVMA welcomes the U.S. announcement that it will resume duty-free trade of non-alloyed, unwrought aluminum retrospective to September 1, 2020. We appreciate the Canadian government's efforts to resolve this trade issue which added unnecessary costs to manufacturers on both sides of the border."
