US begins CORE duty circumvention probe

The International Trade Administration’s Enforcement and Compliance department has begun a circumvention inquiry into the alleged illegal transshipment of corrosion-resistant steel (CORE) products.

The country-wide inquiry will investigate whether CORE from China was completed in Thailand using components produced in China and then shipped to the US, circumventing the anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders on Chinese CORE.
