Leibowitz on Trade: Steel Traders and Anti-circumvention
Written by Tim Triplett
Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:
Last week, the Department of Commerce, for the first time, initiated an investigation into “circumvention” of antidumping and countervailing duty orders (AD/CVD) on corrosion-resistant steel (CORE) from Taiwan and China. This follows determinations on CORE from Korea, Taiwan and China in response to petitions from domestic steel producers contending that imports of CORE from Vietnam were circumventing orders on CORE from China, Taiwan and South Korea.
