US Steel Mills File Antidumping Trade Suit Against 8 Countries
Written by John Packard
Last night (Monday, July 27th) US Steel began advising some of their customers that a cold rolled trade suit had been filed against 8 foreign countries. We have learned from other mills mentioned in the text of the USS email below, that the case is actually being filed today. Here is the full text of the US Steel email received by SMU last night (SMU Note: the USS email incorrectly names SSAB as one of the petitioners, SSAB is not part of the CR petition):
“Late today United States Steel Corporation, along with Nucor, Steel Dynamics, AK Steel, Arcelor Mittal USA, and SSAB Americas filed petitions against foreign producers of Cold-Rolled steel in eight (8) countries alleging that unfairly traded imports of certain cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Netherlands, Russia and the United Kingdom, are causing material injury to the domestic industry.
