June Monthly Steel Fact Sheet

The preliminary data released today show that overall steel imports in June 2007 decreased 10 percent from May 2007. The change in June’s total amount of steel imports was due primarily to a decrease in most carbon categories (excluding blooms, billet and slabs, and standard pipe). June 2007 imports of steel mill products were down 22 percent compared to June 2006.
