Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
The Chinese represent only 7 percent of the total plate imports into the United States. The CTL plate dumping/CVD suits will now focus on the countries that represented 66 percent of the plate imports: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The Final Determination on these countries is due on March 30th.
The US Steel Section 337 complaint against China continues with a review of the dismissal of the antitrust claim coming up. The Commission will determine whether to conduct oral argument and announce a decision by no later than February 24, 2017. Oral argument, if granted, will be held on March 14, 2017.
