Notable Quotes 2
"Transshipments" have the effect of making steel appear as if it came from a compliant country when it may have actually originated in a non-compliant nation such as China.
Furthermore, we believe the U.S. government may lack sufficient resources and technology to identify and fine each foreign entity that illegally bring in steel products into the U.S.
