Steel imports have spiked roughly 18% year to date â according to a recent report from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), an association of North American steel makers. Per AISI, based on preliminary U.S. Census Bureau data, total U.S. steel imports went up 17.5% year over year to roughly 35.6 million net tons through the first eleven months of 2017. Finished steel imports for the same period also increased 14.3% to around 27.6 million net tons.
In the previous part, we discussed direct steel imports. Letâs now learn more about indirect steel imports. Steel produced by steel mills is not consumed by us directly. We consume steel in the form of automobiles, steel-containing appliances, and so on. Industrial consumers also use machinery and equipment made of steel. The imports of these products are termed indirect steel imports. For example, when the United States imports a car from Japan, itâs importing all the steel that went into manufacturing that car.
