Trade Cases

Plate Dumping Suit Imminent
Written by John Packard
According to ArcelorMittal USA comments made during the Association of Steel Distributors meeting over the weekend which SMU attended, a trade case on steel plate imports will be filed within the next few weeks. ArcelorMittal along with Nucor and SSAB have been working on the documentation for an extended period of time and our understanding is that work has been completed by the mill attorneys and the next step should be the filing.
When asked what countries were involved we were told “similar names as the light flat rolled cases” which means countries like Turkey, Korea and China would most likely be included.
