Hot Rolled Antidumping Ruling Due on Tuesday
Written by John Packard
The U.S. Department of Commerce (US DOC) is scheduled to release their Preliminary Determination of Antidumping (AD) against Australia, Brazil, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United Kingdom. This is the third and final Preliminary Determination to be announced on flat rolled steel products. Previously we saw rulings on corrosion resistant (galvanized/Galvalume) and cold rolled.
China and Russia were not involved in the hot rolled trade case as there have been previous rulings or agreements made which essentially are preventing both countries from shipping hot rolled to the United States at this time.
