USA, Washington: Yesterday, The U.S. Commerce Department confirmed duties on imports of grain-oriented electrical steel from the Czech Republic.

The Department made final decision after finding the goods were being sold too cheaply in the United States. Grain-oriented electrical steel imports are mainly used in large and medium-sized electrical power transformers and according to the Commerce’s final decision, the imports will face duties of up to 35.93% in the U.S.. In 2013, just over $9 million worth of the Czech steel was imported.

The decision was made following the complaint lodged by AK Steel Corp, Allegheny Ludlum Corp and the United Steelworkers union, reports Reuters.
