Price: New trade rules will help domestic industries fight "unfair" trade

Written by Alan Price & John Allen Riggins

The Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued new rules to combat evolving “unfair” trade practice — including the unfair trade of steel products. They go into effect on Wednesday, April 24.

The DOC’s International Trade Administration is the agency responsible for imposing duties on US imports sold at dumped or subsidized prices. And the DOC’s regulations establish the process for calculating duty rates. The new regulations further the ITA’s directives.
