Americans face “significant” increase in prices of face masks if exemptions on some tariffs on imports from China expire, an industry group said in a letter to President Joe Biden.

“Unless you act soon, these tariffs will cause irreversible damage to U.S. companies and their U.S. workers at a time when we are all working to jumpstart the economy,” Steve Lamar, president and CEO of the group, said in the letter to Biden.
