ITC Finds Injury in Corrosion-Resistant Steel Trade Case
Written by Sandy Williams
The U.S. International Trade Commission announced Friday that it made an affirmative decision on injury to U.S. steel producers by imports of corrosion resistant steel products from China, India, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan. The USITC determined by unanimous vote that the U.S. steel industry was materially injured by the import of corrosion-resistant steel products (galvanized, Galvalume, aluminized, etc.) sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the five countries.
The decision follows an earlier one late last week in which all six commissioners found injury in the case of imports of cold-rolled flat products from China and Japan.
