U.S. Makers of Steel Cylinders Applaud ITC Ruling in Dumping Case
Written by Tim Triplett
The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled today that imports of steel propane cylinders from China and Thailand are causing injury to the domestic industry, marking a victory for U.S. producers including Worthington Industries and Manchester Tank and Equipment. The ITC’s final determination places dumping and subsidy margins of 37-217 percent on China and 10.77 percent on Thailand.
The ITC’s decision follows the June 17 determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce that imports of steel propane cylinders from China and Thailand were dumped and that imports from China were also subsidized.
