U.S. Steel files trade cases on imports of corrosion-resistant steel

U. S. Steel, along with the United Steelworkers union, or “USW,” and Wheeling-Nippon, has filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions with the United States Department of Commerce and the United States International Trade Commission on imports of corrosion-resistant steel, or “CORE,” from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. Duane Holloway, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of U. S. Steel, commented, “As we have for decades, U. S. Steel continues to lead the domestic industry in the fight against unfair trade on behalf of our workers, families, communities, and customers we serve. These new trade cases-the largest filed by U. S. Steel in nearly a decade-will address low-priced and subsidized CORE imports that continue to pour into the U.S. market. These cases aim to restore a level playing field and support our investments in Big River Steel’s new dual coating line and second mini-mill in Arkansas, as well as U. S. Steel’s CORE facilities across the country.”
