02/03/2017 - The U.S. Department of Commerce has affirmed tariffs of at least 139.5% on stainless sheet and strip from China.

According to the Commerce Department, imports of Chinese-made stainless sheet and strip more than doubled between 2013 and 2015, rising to 133,500 metric tons. Those imports were valued at US$301.7 million, according to the department.
