Section 337 Trans-shipment Claim Under Review
Written by Sandy Williams
U.S. Steel’s Section 337 allegations of trans-shipment of Chinese steel products are being challenged by seven Chinese steel mills.
U.S. Steel alleges that respondents in the case are misrepresenting country of origin in steel shipments in order to elude antidumping and countervailing duties. Baosteel Group, HeSteel Group, Masteel Group, Shougang Steel Group, Shagang Steel Group, WISCO Steel Group and Ansteel Group are challenging that claim, asserting that U.S. Steel has not provided sufficient evidence to support its allegations.
