                    [Summary] => The Filipino Galvanizers Institute (FGI) is seeking a reduction of the  tariff duty on cold rolled steel coils (CRC) from the current seven percent to zero percent.


In its petition with the Tariff Commission, the FGI argued that the tariff on CRC should be reduced to zero since it is not produced locally in sufficient quantity and quality.


FGI pointed out that Global Steelworks International  Inc. (GSII) has not yet proven that it has attained commercial operation status.


In fact, the FGI revealed, GSII has canceled orders booked by local  galvanizers.
