US Steel Imports in December

Steel

US steel imports dropped to an eight-month low of 2.4 Mt in December, although a very weak December 2015 meant this was still up by 0.3 Mt year-on-year, according to preliminary import licence data from the US Census Bureau. US steel imports fell to a three-year low of 29.9 Mt in 2016, down by 5.3 Mt on 2015.
