Free Wool Standoff Fears Duty Fight With Wool Growers
In Washington Jan 13 a National Wool Growers delegation faced Senate finance chair Aldrich. He warned that persistent demands for higher raw wool duties could spark a free wool reversal by manufacturers. Harpster urged remembering the last election on free wool as the issue. No duty change expected, but tariff definitions may tighten for carpet wools to curb high grade imports.
