Nucor and SSAB Join Forces Against Chinese CTL Steel Plate
Written by Sandy Williams
On May 1, Nucor Corp. and SSAB Americas filed a joint request asking the Department of Commerce to find that Chinese producers of cut-to-length (CTL) steel plate are circumventing the antidumping order on CTL plate from China.
According to documents submitted to the DOC, Chinese plate producers are adding small amounts of alloys, such as chromium and titanium, to carbon steel plate to classify the plate as “alloy,” thus avoiding antidumping duties.
