Steel Dynamics, Inc. applauded the International Trade Commission (ITC) on September 26, 2025, for its unanimous affirmative final determination that imports of Corrosion-Resistant Steel (CORE) from ten countries injured the U.S. steel industry. This decision paves the way for the imposition of final antidumping and countervailing duties.
Imports of CORE from these ten countries surged nearly 60% in the first half of 2024, increasing from 2.49 million tons in 2023 to 3.64 million tons in 2024. Following preliminary duties imposed in February 2025, these imports declined to 1.28 million tons in the first eight months of 2025.
As the largest producer of CORE, Galvalume, and painted steel in the United States, Steel Dynamics stands to significantly benefit from this ruling. The final duties are expected to reduce unfairly priced competition, support domestic demand, and enhance the livelihood of the company's team members.
