Leibowitz: Tin Mill Firestorm

An unusual clash of powerful forces is in full swing over tin mill products. This flat-rolled steel product is used to make “tin cans” that hold a huge array of food products and other metal containers sold throughout the world. Tin mill products are generally made from cold-rolled steel that is coated with tin or other coatings that preserve the contents of the package. Uncoated steel does not work for these purposes.

IN PROGRESS... Leibowitz: An antidumping petition was filed against eight countries (China, Korea, Taiwan, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Canada) in January of this year. An anti-subsidy (countervailing duty) petition was filed against imports of tin mill products from China at the same time. Other than China, all the subject countries are staunch allies of the United States.
