U.S. STEEL Co. FILES 3 CHARGES AGAINST CHINA: CONSPIRACY TO FIX PRICES, THEFT OF TRADE SECRETS AND FALSE LABELING

Pittsburgh-based United States Steel Corporation has formally filed three charges against several Chinese steel manufacturers: conspiracy to fix prices, theft of trade secrets, and evasion of trade duties through false labeling.

US Steel is calling on the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to block the allegedly unfairly traded Chinese steel products from the US  market, with the accused being Hebei Iron & Steel Group, Anshan Iron and Steel Group, and Shandong Iron & Steel Group Company, according to Reuters.

The ITC has 30 days to decide whether to launch an investigation. An administrative law judge will rule should the case proceed.
