Tariff Negotiations

Speculation about the outcome of negotiations with the EU to finalize a tariff schedule is dominating headlines and conversations with our customers this week.  There are some positive signs that an agreement is close with several outlets reporting that the EU is seeking exceptions for food and beverage items, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and commercial aircraft as part of the deal.  As soon as new information is available, Team Elenteny will reach out.
