Wire makers push for action against import duty cheats

摘要

Steel wire makers are urging legislators to pass the Enforce Act aimed at preventing transshipment or circumvention after import duties are imposed. "U.S. producers of pre-stressed concrete strand barely survived an astonishing assault by Chinese producers that began in 2002 with some 83 tons (of imports) and four years later ... represented some 200,000 tons," H.O. Woltz III, president and chief executive officer of Insteel Industries Inc., Mount Airy, N.C., said during a meeting of the Wire and Wire Products Caucus in Washington.
