Preliminary Finding Against Canadian Steel
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that producers and exporters of certain corrosion-resistant steel (CORE) from Canada received countervailable subsidies during January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This is a formal step in a trade review that names those Canadian producers as having received government financial assistance during that period.
Possible Duties Could Raise U.S. Costs
The notice says this preliminary determination could lead to extra countervailing duties on certain Canadian corrosion-resistant steel, which may increase the price for U.S. businesses that import or buy that steel. The investigation period referenced is January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and interested parties may comment on the preliminary finding.
