Steel Tariffs Slam Imports from Canada, Brazil, and Nine Others
Published Date: 12/2/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. found that steel products from 11 countries, including Brazil, Canada, and Vietnam, are hurting American steel makers by being sold too cheaply or getting unfair government help. Because of this, the government will keep or add special duties (extra taxes) on these imports to protect U.S. steel jobs and businesses. These changes kick in soon and could affect prices and availability of steel products in the U.S.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
New or Continued Import Duties on Steel
If you import or buy corrosion-resistant steel from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, or Vietnam, the U.S. will keep or add special duties (antidumping and/or countervailing duties) on those imports following the Commission's determinations completed on November 28, 2025 (published December 2, 2025). These duties could raise the price or affect the availability of those steel products in the U.S.
Protection for U.S. Steel Makers and Jobs
The Commission found that imports of corrosion-resistant steel from the listed countries are materially injuring a U.S. industry and determined to apply measures to protect U.S. steel jobs and businesses. The Commission completed and filed these determinations on November 28, 2025.
