Steel Duties, Tariffs and the Status of Trade Cases

Steel Market Update received the following question from one of our new readers who has a specific project related to sourcing of hot rolled and cold rolled steels from outside of the United States. Based on our conversation with the reader we believe this question is being raised at this time due to the wide variance between domestic and foreign steel pricing which is squeezing a domestic manufacturing company’s margins or ability to do business here in the United States using domestically produced steel.

“I was searching through your site, a lot of interesting information, especially to a novice. We are looking to buy large quantities of cold or hot rolled steel, bring into US for [product removed] manufacturing. I have just started this research as this is new strategy for us and am finding it hard to get tariff/duties data per country, in a comprehensive format. Might you point me to a report on your site that might help?”
