Galvanized and Galvalume Trade Cases Expected Yet This Week
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update sources: mill, service center and others are advising us that anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) trade cases on coated products will be filed yet this week. We have heard that the filing could come as early as tomorrow (Wednesday, June 3rd) or on Thursday of this week.
Any trade filing on coated products would most likely be filed against: China, India, Taiwan and South Korea. We do not have any inside information that lays out the exact parties to any filing so our suggestion of China, India, Taiwan and South Korea is based on those countries which have been consistently exporting galvanized and Galvalume (zinc-aluminum) to the United States. Other countries could be included (Brazil for example) but, we will not know for sure until the filings are made.
