FOR RELEASE AT 10:00 AM EDT, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2020
PRELIMINARY: U.S. IMPORTS FOR CONSUMPTION OF STEEL PRODUCTS, August 2020 Release Number: CB 20-146 FT-900A (20-08)
September 24, 2020 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that preliminary August steel imports were $1.1 billion (1.2 million metric tons) compared to the preliminary July totals of $1.7 billion (2.5 million metric tons).
The August change in steel imports based on metric tonnage reflected decreases in blooms, billets, and slabs. Increases occurred in cold rolled sheets, dipped sheets, and drawn wire. Decreases occurred primarily with Brazil. Increases occurred primarily with Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Thailand.
The year to date final statistics through July 2020 showed steel imports of 13.7 million metric tons compared with 17 million metric tons through July 2019. The largest commodity decrease occurred primarily in oil country goods. Increases occurred primarily in tin free steel, used rails, and light shaped bars. The largest country decreases occurred with Russia and Korea. Increases occurred primarily with Turkey, Brazil, and Canada.
The September report is scheduled for release on October 26, 2020. View the full schedule at: <www.census.gov/foreign-trade/reference/release_schedule.html> The full text and tables for this release can be found at <www.census.gov/foreign-trade/Press-Release/steel_index.html>.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
The data in this report are preliminary and subject to revisions. Analysis of recent months for steel product imports indicates the value of preliminary data should equal about 96 percent of the final value reported in the regular monthly trade statistics report. Preliminary data reported for individual steel categories and at the individual country of origin level have been less consistently predictive of the final data reported in the regular monthly trade statistics. For further details, visit our web site at <www.census.gov/trade>. On the website, you can access product by country and country by product tables.
