U.S. slaps major tax increase on China steel imports
May 18 2016.
The United States has ramped up import duties on Chinese steel makers by 522%, accusing Beijing of anti-competitive behavior by selling steel below cost.
Last year, U.S. Steel (NYSE:X), AK Steel (NYSE:AKS), ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT), Nucor (NYSE:NUE) and Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:STLD), all filed a complaint to the International Trade Commission, alleging foreign companies were selling steel at unfairly low prices.
The industry claims it has had to lay off 12K workers as a result of unfair competition.
