On February 25, 2020, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced an end to antidumping and countervailing duties on fabricated structural steel (FSS) from Canada, Mexico, and China. Fabricated steel products refer to a wide range of carbon and alloy steel products, such as angles, columns, or beams.

This determination concludes an investigation launched by the Department of Commerce in February 2019 claiming the FSS imports in question were being sold at less than fair market value in the U.S. The USITC determined the fabricated steel imports do not cause material injury or threaten material injury to the U.S.
