SMU Report: HR Imports by Product Detail Through September
Written by Peter Wright
Premium subscribers to Steel Market Update have access to reports on our website that break out the import tonnage into district of entry and source nation for six sheet and plate categories. SMU has now developed reports that drill down the HRC and CRC into product detail both nationally and for each district. We report these in alternate months. Our December report for November imports will cover cold rolled sheet. (For information on how to upgrade to a Premium-level subscrition, email info@SteelMarktUpdate.com).
Using U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) data, SMU has taken the import tonnage of HRC and broken it down into sheet and strip, and whether it was in coil or leveled. Then it separates three gauge ranges, it identifies how much was P&O, how much was high strength and how much had patterns in relief.
