Lawmakers introduce STEEL Act to bolster trade enforcement

Congressmen Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) have introduced the Strengthening Trade Enforcement and Evasion Limitations Act (STEEL Act) into the US House of Representatives. The bipartisan bill aims to curb unfairly traded imports and strengthen US trade enforcement.

The legislation would expand Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) authority to self-initiate investigations into duty evasion. It would also tighten judicial review requirements, closing loopholes that have allowed foreign producers to undercut American steelmakers.
