PRELIMINARY: U.S. IMPORTS FOR CONSUMPTION OF STEEL PRODUCTS, June 2020 Release Number: CB 20-110 FT-900A (20-06)
July 24, 2020 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that preliminary June steel imports were $1.2 billion (1.3 million metric tons) compared to the preliminary May totals of $1.4 billion (1.6 million metric tons).
The June change in steel imports based on metric tonnage reflected decreases in blooms, billets, and slabs. Increases occurred in galvanized hot dipped sheets and strip; line pipe; and standard rails. Decreases occurred primarily with Australia, Russia, and Turkey. Increases occurred primarily with Canada and Italy.
The year to date final statistics through May 2020 showed steel imports of 10.0 million metric tons compared with 12.3 million metric tons through May 2019. The largest commodity decrease occurred primarily in oil country goods. Increases occurred primarily in blooms, billets, and slabs; tin free steel; and mechanical tubing. The largest country decreases occurred with Korea. Increases occurred primarily with Canada, and Mexico.
The July report is scheduled for release on August 25, 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.
