Steel cylinders from India face US import duties

Written by Laura Miller


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.

Leibowitz: Trump 2.0 signals Cold War 2.0 trade and China policies

China is one of the elephants in the room as the transition to Trump 2.0 continues. While the people and policies are still being formulated, it’s possible to detect a strategy for the new Trump administration. I think there are two imperative issues that the new administration needs to balance. The Trump strategy will, I believe, follow the following points. First, trade is one of the issues that got President Trump elected in 2016 and 2024—it nearly got him elected in 2020, save for the pandemic. If President Trump had won in 2020, I might be writing chronicles about the end of his eight years in the White House now instead of projecting what the next Trump administration would accomplish or break. Oh, well—that’s life. Trade will necessarily be a key feature of relations with China for the next four years.
