WASHINGTON, The U.S. Department of Commerce said Friday that imports of tin mill products from South Korea, China, Canada and Germany were found to have been dumped into the U.S. market as it issued its final antidumping duty determinations.

The department released the findings that the imports from the countries are “unfairly priced.” Tin mill is a steel product widely used for food packaging or to store other items.

In the list of companies subject to duties was TCC Steel Corp, a South Korean firm on which the department imposed a duty rate of 2.69 percent.

The department also said it found that imports of tin mill products from China are being subsidized, and that imports of tin mill products from the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey and Britain are not being dumped.

“This determination underscores Commerce’s commitment to remedying unfair trade practices, to which U.S. workers, companies, and farmers are entitled under U.S. law,” the department said in a press release.
