                    [Title] => Steel sector can survive higher tariff on tinplates, says former NSC official
                    [Summary] => A former official of the National Steel Corp.  (NSC) is disputing  claims of the Tin Can Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (TCMAP)  that increasing the current three-percent tariff on tinplates would kill  most of the downstream steel industry players.


According to Louie Wassmer, former marketing manager for tinplates of NSC, tincan manufacturers never pass on to consumers any benefit they get from lower tariff on tinplates.

Likewise, Wassmer pointed out, the tincan manufacturers would also easily pass on to consumers any additional cost they may incur.

FPI president Jesus L. Arranza said they are proposing that government convince local downstream industries to commit to buy GSII’s output while at the same time keeping the current tariff rate of three per cent for steel billets and zero for tinplates.
