Final AD/CVD margins announced in coated steel trade case
Written by Laura Miller

The US Commerce Department announced the final anti-dumping and countervailing duty (CVD) margins in the sprawling trade case investigating corrosion-resistant steel imports.
These margins replace the preliminary dumping and subsidy margins assigned earlier this year.
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) will issue the final injury determination in this case on Oct. 9. An affirmative decision will put the duties officially on the books, while a negative injury finding would end the case without any duties assigned, and any already collected would be reimbursed.
