Final Thoughts

I asked trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz recently to look into the requests for reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duties on CORE (corrosion resistant steel) and cold rolled. The U.S. Department of Commerce published notices on July 3, 2017, asking any of the countries/companies affected if they wished to have a one-year review of the initial decision. Leibowitz advised us that the Commerce Department has not yet published a list, but there are a number of reviews requested. There were no requests from the Chinese. The Koreans have filed a number of requests (four or five, including POSCO).

This year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference will be the first to be covered by television. Media credentials have been requested by NHK Japan Broadcasting Corp. for the conference. NHK is the Japanese equivalent to the PBS broadcasting network here in the United States.
