Taxation/Internal Revenue Code

Westwin Elements is building the U.S.' only major nickel refinery. In order to successfully complete the project Westwin is seeking support from the government to remove tariffs on imported nickel feedstocks, and place tariffs on class 1 nickel products. Additionally, Westwin is looking to partner with the DOD to provide the defense industrial base with access to Class 1 nickel which is vital to U.S. economic and national security objectives.

Tariff (miscellaneous tariff bills)

Industry is seeking tariffs on imports of class 1 nickel products with exemptions for ex-chinese and ex-russian production from Canada. Additionally, we are working to maintain the duty free import of nickel intermediate products which are the required feedstock for domestic nickel refining.

Trade (domestic/foreign)

Westwin is seeking the establishment of critical mineral agreements with mineral rich allied nations to support the trade of nickel and other critical minerals vital to ensuring a domestic critical mineral supply chain free of FEOC influence and reduce US dependency on adversarial controlled supply.
