International Trade committee  Thank you. We have heard some commentary as well from stakeholders on that issue. I guess I would reiterate that the provisional safeguards, which are in place for 200 days, are in the form of a tariff rate quota. Companies that are importing along the lines of historical volume

International Trade committee  They can certainly come to us.

International Trade committee  Yes.

International Trade committee  On October 25, that's the case. I will emphasize that as Patrick said, although they are informed of the tariff rate quota, it's not a straight 25% on everything.
