HVAC Trade Groups Ask Feds to Preserve USMCA Trade Deal
Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International, along with AHRI, ACCA, and PHCC, sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on September 2. The letter urged preservation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The coalition emphasized that 1.9 million American workers across the HVAC industry depend on the trade deal.
Changes to USMCA could disrupt equipment costs and availability. This affects contractors who rely on North American supply chains.
If you source equipment manufactured in Mexico or Canada, monitor USTR announcements. Watch for potential USMCA modifications that could affect pricing or lead times.
Key Takeaways:
- Four major HVAC trade groups jointly lobbied to preserve USMCA on September 2
- 1.9 million American HVAC workers benefit from the current trade agreement
