US companies will raise their prices as the import price rises due to the tariff, quality and cost will not be improved, and dishonest contractors are dishonest contractors.

I am in the concrete business inasmuch I deliver concrete and this last year I have seen lots of homeowner projects using a whole lot less rebar, many are opting for a fiber mesh additive, some jobs people are using stuff like old wire mesh and chain link fences.

When Mexico city had a major earthquake years ago it was found that many buildings were built with insufficient amounts of rebar, I am seeing this happen here.

Without affordable rebar America will slow its construction projects to a crawl.

If you are concerned (and you should be) about the material in your projects meeting ASTM specs (and concerned about sub-standard pipe being used), then raising prices on pipe is an odd way to go about it.
