FOR RELEASE AT 10:00 AM EST, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2019
PRELIMINARY: U.S. IMPORTS FOR CONSUMPTION OF STEEL PRODUCTS,
October 2019
Release Number: CB 19-178 FT-900A (19-10)
November 26, 2019 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that preliminary October steel imports were
$1.8 billion (2.0 million metric tons) compared to the preliminary September totals of $1.6 billion (1.7 million
metric tons).
The October change in steel imports based on metric tonnage reflected increases in blooms, billets, and slabs.
Decreases occurred in oil country goods, line pipe, and reinforcing bars. Increases occurred primarily with
Brazil. Decreases occurred primarily with Mexico, Taiwan, and Australia.
The year to date final statistics through September 2019 showed steel imports of 20.5 million metric tons
compared with 23.7 million metric tons through September 2018. The largest commodity decreases occurred
primarily in hot rolled sheets. Increases occurred primarily in black plate, line pipe, and tin free steel. The
largest country decreases occurred primarily with Russia. Increases occurred primarily with Brazil, Spain, and
Ukraine.
The November report is scheduled for release on December 27, 2019. View the full schedule

EXPLANATORY NOTES
The data in this report are preliminary and subject to revisions. Analysis of recent months for steel product
imports indicates the value of preliminary data should equal about 96 percent of the final value reported
in the regular monthly trade statistics report. Preliminary data reported for individual steel categories and
at the individual country of origin level have been less consistently predictive of the final data reported in
the regular monthly trade statistics. For further details, visit our web site at . On
the website, you can access product by country and country by product tables.
