Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation: Final Results of the Expedited Fifth Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders
What happened
The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that ending antidumping duties on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate (CTL plate) from China and Russia would likely lead to continued dumping. The official source text indicates the policy was signed by Donald Trump. This decision maintains the existing antidumping duty orders.
Why it matters
This action means that imported steel plate from China and Russia will continue to face additional duties, making it more expensive. This aims to prevent unfair competition for domestic steel producers by discouraging the sale of foreign steel at artificially low prices.
