October Import Licenses at 3.3 Million Tons
Written by John Packard
Based on the most recent import license data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce, October import licenses totaled 3,399,248 net tons. We anticipate when the final census numbers are released for the month of October total steel imports will be somewhere between 3.2 and 3.4 million tons (net tons not metric tons).
Imports of foreign steel into the United States are expected to be 400,000 to 600,000 tons greater than what we saw in September and 200,000-400,000 greater than final census data for August.
