The U.S. steel industry continued its assault on global steel trade by filing a petition for AD and CVD investigations into Carbon and Alloy Cut-to-Length Steel Plate. This petition casts a wide net, including 12 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey. This petition is the eighth recent AD/CVD action against steel from around the world filed in the last nine months -- 60 individual antidumping or countervailing duty investigations!
Certainly, the International Trade Commission and Department of Commerce are earning their paychecks based upon the volume of work they have (which adds to the work they already had). The U.S. steel industry has been able to convince the ITC that it is being injured "by reason of" each of the imports. More to come -- what petitioners are connected to which petitions? How much of their production is being kept alive by AD/CVD actions?
