Regional Imports Through October: Hot-Dipped Galvanized Sheet

Steel Market Update offers a comprehensive series of import reports ranging from the first look at licensed data to the very detailed look at volume by district of entry and source nation. The report you are reading now is designed to plug the gap between those two. National level import reports do a good job of measuring the overall market pressure caused by the imports of individual products. The downside is that there are huge regional differences. This report breaks total YTD import tonnage for each flat rolled product into regions and the growth/contraction for each region. Then it graphs the regional history of that product over a six-year period. We will report regional import data for each of six flat rolled products every other month.
