I ran into a real life consquence of the steel tariffs

They still document the source for all scrap, and yes max that includes steel. Large amounts of steel still get processed, small amounts are not worth the time to document.
And that makes the point, if the steel was required to be documented, it would have been, no matter how little, just as copper has to. Just because the larger amounts may be recorded by the dealers reflects a different reality of covering their own arse, just in case. Often the the scrap is mixed.
Mass having unclear legislation is typical of the region and still has nothing to do with the tariffs, but your local thieving industry....

Bullcrap, and I posted that the dealer was wrong.

For some reason your flaming comprehension problem kicked in again and you started your St Vitus dance about state requirement that are totally unrelated to tariffs under discussion.
You may even take a look at the OP title.
We all got what the OP posted. Trying to repost it changes nothing.
Maybe if you reposted and read it s- l-o-w-l-y to yourself, that might prove to solve some of the problem.

Next time try to read and comprehend what is actually said, JoeH, instead of imagining what you wish they have said...

Yes, China no longer taking our waste for recycling has absolutely nothing to do with the ostensible spokesperson for the West saying that they're abusing our trade relationship and stealing from us, and then slapping tariffs on them willy-nilly.

Absolutely unrelated. Totally crazy to think a sudden change in Chinese policy had anything to do with 45's near-daily verbal abuse. Our relationship with China has never been stronger.

Their policy change preceded tariff changes. Our rates went up two years ago due to China getting picky with what it would take.
Has nothing to do with Russians or collusion either despite them being fun talking points for lunatics.
