The US International Trade Commission (ITC) made a final determination that imports of corrosion-resistant steel (CORE) from 10 countries have caused material damage to domestic producers.
Sales of CORE products from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Vietnam have transacted at less than US fair market value, the ITC said in a press release on Thursday.
Additionally, the ITC found that the governments of Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam have subsidized CORE production.
Because the ITC has made a final determination of injury, the Commerce Department will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders for CORE products from the 10 countries.
CORE includes products such as galvanized, Galvalume, and aluminized steel. More details on the landmark trade petition are here.
The ITC will detail the findings that led to the injury determination in a report that will be available by Nov. 5.
