The US Department of Commerce issued affirmative determinations of anti-dumping and countervailing duties against 10 countries on Tuesday after investigations into corrosion-resistant steel products. The determinations cover USD 2.9 billion in imports from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, the Commerce Department said in a statement. "Commerce made its final determinations that imports of corrosion-resistant steel (CORE) into the US from ten trading partners were being dumped and/or subsidized," the department said, as Reuters reported. Corrosion-resistant steel is used to build automobiles, appliances, and buildings. The International Trade Commission will now make its own determination of injury to the domestic steel industry, the department said.
