What Impact Has HRC AD/CVD Suits Had on Imports?
Written by John Packard
In August 2015, the U.S. steel mills filed antidumping and countervailing duty charges against seven countries: Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Antidumping (AD) was found in each of the seven countries with duties of 3.73 percent to as high as 34.28 percent. Countervailing Duties (CVD) were found to exist in two countries: Brazil (11.09-11.30 percent) and Korea (3.89-57.04 percent). The Final ITC Determination was found to be affirmative on September 12, 2016.
So, how have the AD/CVD trade suits impacted actual imports of hot rolled steel into the United States?
