Final Thoughts

As I mentioned in one of the articles in tonight’s edition of SMU, I have been speaking with trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz on a whole host of subjects. We will be working on an article to help our readers better understand the ramifications of the Section 232 review (national security) and what powers the President of the United States has to respond to the Department of Commerce findings. The steel and manufacturing industries could be in for a shock, or, maybe nothing will happen at all.

I have also been asked when the annual reviews are due for CORE, cold rolled and hot rolled antidumping and countervailing duties. I am going to check with Lewis Leibowitz on this subject as well. My gut feel is that we will be seeing some of the reviews at about the time of our conference (in case you needed another reason to attend).
