US Plate Mills Seek End to Russian Plate Suspension Agreement

US plate producers are seeking to have the suspension agreement on Russian plate imports tossed and to be replaced with antidumping duties (AD).

Nucor, Cleveland-Cliffs, and SSAB have asked the US Department of Commerce to terminate the AD suspension agreement on carbon steel plate from Russia. The producers say that the agreement is no longer meeting certain requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930, according to a Federal Register filing, and are asking for an AD order to be imposed on the cut-to-length plate imports from Russia instead.
