U.S. Wire Rod Makers Seek Trade Protection
03/29/2017 - Four U.S. steelmakers are accusing their counterparts in 10 countries of dumping carbon and alloy wire rod, undercutting U.S. prices, reports S&P Global Platts.
In a complaint filed with the U.S. Commerce Department, the steelmakers allege dumping margins of between 21.6% and 821.4%. The complaint names Belarus, Italy, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
"The substantial increase in low-priced and unfairly-traded carbon and alloy steel wire rod from the subject countries since 2014 has injured American manufacturers and their workers," trade attorney Paul Rosenthal told Platts.
His firm, Kelley Drye & Warren, is representing Gerdau Long Steel North America, Keystone Consolidated Industries and Charter Steel. The fourth U.S. petitioner is Nucor Corp., which is being represented by another firm.
