US will not impose additional duties on tinned Turkish steel

The U.S. Trade Commission rejected a request to impose additional customs duties on tinned steel imported from Turkey The U.S. government’s international trade review board has rejected a request to impose additional customs duties on tinned steel imported from Turkey and lifted customs duties on tinned steel imported from four countries. According to Reuters, the International Trade Commission, the White House’s trade agency, rejected a request from U.S. organizations to impose additional customs duties on the products in question. The agency also lifted the U.S. Commerce Department’s decision to impose antidumping duties of 2.69 percent to 6.88 percent on tinned steel imported from South Korea, Germany, and Canada. In addition, it ended the customs duties aimed at preventing a 122.5 percent subsidy on products imported from China. Following these decisions, the U.S. will continue to impose a 25 percent customs duty on tinned steel imported from China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey. Former US President Donald Trump imposed customs duties on imports from these countries in 2018 on the grounds that they threatened national security.
