1. This product is only available from the existing source in China, an American-owned company operating in 

China which sells to Asian markets while also trading parts with its sister company in the United States. The 

design for this product is specific to the individual Bill of Materials of reels manufactured in America. It is not 

mass produced or readily available, and is in fact only traded through intra-company sales. 

This product also requires tooling which represents a substantial cost, and would require several months 

worth of design and manufacturing before a domestic source could be obtained. 

2. The imposition of additional duties on this product would cause severe economic harm to Reelcraft 

Industries. An increase in duties essentially amounts to an increase in costs, which will impact our employees, 

customers, and community. This reduces our ability to increase wages for American workers, as well as 

provide the outstanding benefits that allow them to prosper and grow within the local community, boosting 

the local economy, and help to keep America the prosperous nation it is today. 

The increase in costs risks the possibility of a reduction in workers, a reduction in workers pay and benefits, 

or an increase in prices which would prompt customers to favor foreign competitors and become a loss for the 

American economy at large. 

3. This product is not related to "Made in China 2025" or other Chinese industrial programs to the best of our 

knowledge. This is a low-technology industrial component which represents no strategically important 

economic factor for our current trade relations.
