May 04, 2020 Cleveland-Cliffs Applauds U.S. Department of Commerce’s Self-Initiation of a Section 232 Investigation on Transformer Laminations and Cores, Electrical Transformers and Transformer Regulators Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. today praised the U.S. Department of Commerce’s self-initiation of an urgent Section 232 investigation covering laminations for stacked transformer cores, stacked and wound transformer cores, electrical transformers, and transformer regulators. The outcome of this investigation will be critical to addressing circumvention of existing national security tariffs covering Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) using laminations and cores cut in Mexico and in Canada as means for tariff evasion. Cleveland-Cliffs’ wholly-owned subsidiary AK Steel is the last remaining producer of GOES in North America. This blatant circumvention activity has degraded the domestic electrical steel market and now threatens the viability of Cleveland-Cliffs continuing to produce GOES, a critical element to the security of America’s electric grid. April 15, 2020 Lawmakers Urge President Trump to Preserve American Electrical Steel Industry U.S. Representatives Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) were joined by a bipartisan group of lawmakers to urge President Trump to address the unfair trade practices that are threatening AK Steel's electrical steel business. AK Steel, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cleveland-Cliffs, is the last remaining producer of electrical steel in North America.
In the letter, the Representatives expressed concern that some bad actors are intentionally avoiding national security tariffs imposed on imports of grain-oriented electrical steel under Section 232. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves made clear to Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, that unless this circumvention is immediately addressed, the company will have no choice but to close AK Steel plants in Butler, PA and Zanesville, OH, which threatens more than 1,500 jobs and the security of America's power grid.
The press release and letter can be read on U.S. Representative Kelly's website.
