    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    There are so many dumping suits being filed at the same time that it is difficult to keep track of the various dates as to when actions will be taken either by the US Department of Commerce of the US International Trade Commission (ITC). There are 5 major groups of suits which affect the flat rolled steel industry: corrosion resistant (galvanized/zinc-aluminum or Galvalume), cold rolled, hot rolled, OCTG and structural pipe and tube. In the coming days we will do our best to stay on top of each and to publish “good” dates rather than guessing at when those decisions should be made.

    We are in contact with a number of trade attorneys but everyone needs to be aware that they are a little on the busy side a this moment. So far, they have been willing to help us and we appreciate there assistance.
