Tariffs and Trade
The Issue: The $400 billion American beer industry will be impacted by changes to national trade policy, including tariffs and other levies placed on imported goods.
Why It Matters: America’s 3,000 independent beer distributors supplement their robust portfolio of domestic products with beer and beverages from across the globe. Additionally, the beer industry uses a significant amount of aluminum and steel in products ranging from cans and packaging to warehouse and delivery equipment. It is important for lawmakers and the administration to consider the vital role that beer and beverage distributors play in local economies and the impact tariffs may have on this critical industry.
We Encourage Congress To:
Support pro-growth trade policies that benefit both consumers and local economies.
