Written by Peter Wright
Using 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, into four thickness ranges, and identifies how much was full hard, annealed and high strength.
This update examines the total cold rolled sheet and strip imports into the U.S. for 2020 through February by month. Year to date, only 3.2 percent was strip. By gauge range, sheet breaks down to: 24.8 percent < 0.5mm, 35.6 percent ≥ 0.5 to 1.0 mm, 39.2 percent > 1 to 3mm thick and 0.4 percent > 3 mm.
