Written by Sandy Williams
May 7, 2017
The U.S. International Trade Commission made a final determination that the U.S. steel industry has been materially injured by imports of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Antidumping (AD) orders will be issued on imports of these products from the eight countries as well as countervailing duties (CVD) on imports of the products from Korea.
No critical circumstances were found by the Commission on imports of CTL plate from Austria, Belgium or Italy.
The product in the investigation is cut-to-length (CTL) plate, a flat-rolled or press-forged carbon or alloy steel product that is 4.75 millimeters or more in thickness.
The petitioners in this case were ArcelorMittal USA , Nucor Corporation, and SSAB Enterprises.
