Commerce Initiates AD/CVD Investigation on Fabricated Structural Steel
Written by Sandy Williams
The Commerce Department announced Tuesday that it has initiated new antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations to determine whether fabricated structural steel from Canada, China and Mexico is being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and to find if producers in those three countries are receiving unfair subsidies.
The investigation was launched following a petition by the American Institute of Steel Construction. The petition alleges that Canada has 44 subsidy programs, China has 25 and Mexico has 19 including subsidies on taxes, grants, loans, export insurance and export programs, among others.
