Non-refillable steel cylinder imports from India are subject to new antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD).
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) made its final injury determination in a trade case on Thursday, voting unanimously that the US industry is being injured by the unfairly traded imports.
As a result of the ITC’s decision, AD and CVDs will now be collected on the Indian-origin products coming to the US.
Last month, the US Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) made its final determinations in the case. It determined weighted-average dumping margins of 0-6.27% and subsidy rates of 2.26-2.38%.
Worthington Industries was the petitioner in this case. The company completed its planned split last year into manufacturer Worthington Enterprises and processor group Worthington Steel. Worthington Enterprises’ Building Products group is now responsible for producing a variety of steel cylinders.

Price on trade: The excess capacity threat moves closer to home
The Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity (GFSEC) reaffirmed on Oct. 8 what domestic steel producers have long known—the threat of excess steel capacity never disappeared and is evolving. China’s steelmakers are boosting capacity and exports, echoing the 2016 global steel crisis. There is no doubt that China is successfully weaponizing excess capacity across many industries, and the fatal damage to domestic production and national security undermines the interests of all market-oriented countries. The question now is: How will GFSEC countries respond?

Leibowitz: Harris, Trump don’t talk much about steel and trade – because they (mostly) agree
By most accounts, the issues that are most important for voters in this election are the economy, immigration, and abortion. International trade policy plays a key role in at least two of those three (the economy and immigration). Both presidential candidates recognize that trade and tariffs are an important focus. And “America first” is a rallying point for both candidates.
