Drill Down of Cold Rolled Imports into Product Detail
Written by Peter Wright
Using U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) data, Steel Market Update has taken the import tonnage of cold rolled sheet and broken it down into coil and leveled, then our report breaks out four thickness ranges and identifies how much was full hard, annealed and high strength.
Through November 2019, of the total cold rolled sheet and strip imports into the U.S., only 2.4 percent was strip. By gauge range the sheet broke down to: 28.0 percent < 0.5mm, 30.3 percent ≥ 0.5 to 1.0 mm, 40.9 percent> 1 to 3mm thick and 0.7 percent > 3 mm.
