Italian Exporters Hit With Duties
The Department of Commerce found that certain producers and exporters of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy sold goods below normal value for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. Because of that finding, those Italian producers/exporters will be subject to antidumping duties on the covered merchandise.
Importers Face Extra Antidumping Duties
Importers who bring certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy into the United States will face antidumping duties because Commerce found those Italian sales were below normal value for May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. Importers of the covered merchandise will therefore have added duty costs when clearing those imports.
Ruling Aims To Protect U.S. Steel Jobs
The Commerce decision is intended to protect American steel companies and jobs by offsetting below-normal priced imports of certain Italian cut-to-length plate sold between May 1, 2023 and April 30, 2024. The ruling is meant to level the playing field for U.S. producers by imposing duties on the dumped imports.
