According to Louie Wassmer, former marketing manager for tinplates of NSC,  tincan manufacturers never pass on to consumers any benefit they get from lower tariff on tinplates.


Likewise, Wassmer pointed out, the tincan manufacturers would also easily  pass on to consumers any additional cost they may incur.
