SMU Analysis of Imports by Port, Product & Country

Steel Market Update is reintroducing our monthly analysis of foreign steel imports into the United States by product, port and country. This report will be available to our Premium level members shortly after the U.S. government releases the Final Census data for each month. The data was just released for the month of June. Since we were not able to produce this report for a period of time due to the loss of a data provider, we produced all six months of the new year for our Premium customers.

The SMU monthly import analysis describes the total tonnage by product. It is intended to be a big picture commentary that describes how import volumes are changing and by implication what effect they are having on the macro market. Our normal foreign steel import analysis for our Executive level newsletter does not provide any regional information nor does it tell us the country of origin.
