China, India, Taiwan, South Korea and Italy: The Numbers
Written by John Packard
Attorney Larry Friedman noted the “hockey stick” graphs when looking at the five countries listed as defendants in the coated steel antidumping petition. We wanted to take a new look at the five countries and the total galvanized and Galvalume shipments made during 2012, 2013 and 2014 and how 2013 and 2014 compared with the previous year.
We first looked at galvanized and found China, India and Korea expanded their volumes exported to the United States in both 2012 and 2013. China tonnage, in particular, stuck out as the increase in 2014 was 216.2 percent higher than the prior year.
