US Keeps Steel Tariffs on China and Others to Protect Domestic Makers
Published Date: 9/23/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes (duties) on hot-rolled steel from China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine. These taxes help protect American steel makers from unfair competition and stop harm to the U.S. steel industry. This decision means the duties stay in place starting now, keeping prices fair and supporting American jobs.

Duties Kept on Hot‑Rolled Steel Imports
On September 19, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep countervailing duty orders on hot‑rolled steel from India, Indonesia, and Thailand and antidumping duty orders on hot‑rolled steel from China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine. The Commission found that removing those orders would likely lead to a return of material injury to a U.S. industry, so the special import taxes remain in place to protect U.S. steel makers.
