FOR RELEASE AT 10:00 AM EDT, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2020
PRELIMINARY: U.S. IMPORTS FOR CONSUMPTION OF STEEL PRODUCTS, March 2020 Release Number: CB 20-63 FT-900A (20-03)
April 23, 2020 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that preliminary March steel imports were $1.5
billion (1.6 million metric tons) compared to the preliminary February totals of $1.3 billion (1.4 million metric
tons).
The March change in steel imports based on metric tonnage reflected increases in oil country goods; blooms,
billets, and slabs; and cold rolled sheets. Decreases occurred in heavy structural shapes, hot rolled sheets,
and reinforcing bars. Increases occurred primarily with Russia, Korea, and Canada. Decreases occurred
primarily with Turkey, Brazil, and Japan.
The year to date final statistics through February 2020 showed steel imports of 4.2 million metric tons
compared with 5.4 million metric tons through February 2019. The largest commodity decrease occurred
primarily in oil country goods. Increases occurred primarily in tin free steel, mechanical tubing, and heavy
structural shapes. The largest country decrease occurred with Korea. Increases occurred primarily with
Canada and Mexico.
The April report is scheduled for release on May 27, 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.
