Import of metal rolling into the United States fell by 18%

The United States Monitoring and Analysis Analysis Department said that according to the data provided by the American Institute of Cast iron and steel (AISI), the import of ready -made metal rolling in the United States amounted to 2 million 358 thousand tons in December 2012, which is 10% less than in November 2012 and 18% less than in December 2011, when 2 million 615,000 tons and 2 million were brought 852 thousand tons, respectively. The share of the imported metal rolling amounted to about 24% of the total number of the US market.

The President and Chief Executive Director of AISI Thomas Gibson said: “We will insist on further restriction of imports supported by state subsidies, currency speculations, trading barriers and other vicious ways. AISI will make every effort to further involve the federal government of the United States to solve this serious problem. If the intended surge does not remain, then the recovery of metallurgical industry after The decline will become difficult and will lead to additional loss of jobs along the entire chain of steel supply and metal rolling. ”
