Aluminum boat lifts are simple structures that do not incorporate any industrial significant technology

nor are they related to the "Made in China 2025 Program". They consist of aluminum extrusions that are

bolted together to form a structure used to lift a boat from freshwater lakes. The lifts are portable so they

can be removed from the body of water seasonally.

There are no foreign manufacturers of boat lifts. Some boat lift components are imported by Clymene's

competitors but they comprise components, not complete boat lifts. The subject of this exclusion request

is complete, unassembled, boat lifts.

Existing US boat lift suppliers restrict their sales to specific distributors with specific territories

restricting the access of others to enter the marketplace. This practice prohibits Clymene LLC from

acquiring boat lifts from domestic manufacturers, therefore, denying Clymene LLC from practicing

business in the boat lift market. Clymene LLC entered the boat lift marketplace in 2018 and additional

tariffs will effectually force Clymene LLC to be uncompetitive due to increased product costs. In all

likelihood, these additional tariffs will force Clymene LLC to go out of business and eliminate up to 7

positions that are now involved in assembling, installing, and removing boat lifts.
