US Steel, USW and Wheeling-Nippon file trade lawsuits over imports of corrosion-resistant steel

On September 5, 2024, US Steel, together with the United Steelworkers (“USW”) and Wheeling-Nippon, filed applications with the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) for anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of corrosion-resistant steel (“CORE”) from Australia, Brazil, Canada.¹Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

Duane D. Holloway, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of U.S. Steel, commented, “As we have done for decades, U.S. Steel continues to lead the domestic industry in the fight against unfair trade on behalf of our workers, families, communities and customers. These new trade lawsuits – the largest U.S. Steel has brought in nearly a decade – will address the cheap and subsidized CORE imports that continue to flood into the U.S. market. These lawsuits aim to restore a level playing field and support our investments in Big River Steel's new double-coating facility and second mini-plant in Arkansas, as well as U.S. Steel's CORE facilities across the country.”
