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.

However, according to government sources, GSII must inform the Tariff and Related Matters (TRM) committee once the firm is commercially operational.
