This final review will decide if extra taxes should be added to protect U.S. businesses. The decision could affect prices and imports soon, so steel buyers and sellers should pay attention!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Final review of steel imports scheduled
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing-duty investigations of corrosion-resistant steel from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. The final review will decide whether those imports are materially injuring U.S. industry and could lead to extra duties that affect steel prices and imports, so steel buyers and sellers should pay attention.
Commerce preliminary dumping/subsidy findings
The Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that corrosion-resistant steel from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam was sold at less-than-fair-value and subsidized by those governments. Importers, exporters, and domestic firms dealing with steel from those four countries should note this because the preliminary finding is part of the final review process.
