Put Duties Back on Fracking Material, Justice Department Urges Appeals Court

摘要

The Justice Department urged an appeals court Dec. 12 to reimpose import tariffs on a type of chemical used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking (Schlwn-berger Tech. Corp. v. United States, No. 15-2076, 12/12/16). The case concerns the proper import tariffs on bauxite "proppants," a type of chemical used in fracturing fluid to hold open fissures and allow the extraction of oil or gas.
