Economic perspective
Editorial economic view: destination tariffs can change regional price gaps and sourcing choices. Iranian coatings, plastics and masterbatch businesses should compare export quotations together with destination, freight and payment terms. A proposed UK duty does not establish a definite price increase in Iran.
