United States Steel Coporation (US Steel) has 75 antidumping and countervailing duties levied in the United States and the European Union (EU).
Antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD or anti-subsidy duties) are applied in addition to Section 232 tariffs, quotas, tariff rate quotas and the European Commission (EC) safeguard, and AD/CVD orders may continue beyond Section 232 and EC safeguard action.
US Steel continues to actively defend and maintain the 61 U.S. AD/CVD orders and 14 EU AD/CVD orders covering US Steel products in multiple proceedings before the Department of Commerce (DOC), the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), CIT, CAFC, EC and European courts, and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
In July 2022, the ITC voted to maintain the AD/CVD orders on corrosion-resistant steel from China, India, Italy, South Korea, and Taiwan and cold-rolled steel from China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom for another five years, but voted to revoke the AD/CVD orders on cold-rolled steel from Brazil.
Then, in October 2022, the ITC voted to maintain AD/CVD orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil.
