February Imports Exceed 3.2 Million Tons
Written by John Packard
The U.S. Department of Commerce reported Preliminary Census Data for February 2014 steel imports into the United States. Total steel imports (all products) were reported to be 3,250,176 net tons which is an increase of 30 percent year over year and well above both the 12 month and 3 month moving average.
As you can see by the table below we saw increases in semi-finished steels (most of which are slabs), cold rolled, cut plate and Galvalume (other metallic which also includes aluminized).
