US-Denmark Trade Agreement Boosts Steel Slab Imports
A new bilateral trade agreement between the US and Denmark has reduced tariffs on steel slabs (HS Code: 7207.12), including rectangular slabs with a length of 3 m or more and a width of 1.25 m or more, facilitating increased exports from Denmark to the US.
2023-10-15
Impact: This is expected to increase the volume of steel slab imports from Denmark to the US by 15% over the next year, benefiting US manufacturers with access to high-quality materials at lower costs.
Denmark Increases Production Capacity for Steel Slabs
Danish steel manufacturers have expanded production facilities to meet growing US demand for rectangular steel slabs under HS Code 7207.12, focusing on slabs meeting the specified dimensions of 3 m length and 1.25 m width or more.

Impact: The increased production capacity could lead to a surplus of supply, potentially lowering prices and strengthening trade ties with the US, while also increasing competition for US domestic producers.
US Imposes Temporary Quota on Steel Slab Imports
The US has introduced a temporary quota on steel slab imports, including those from Denmark under HS Code 7207.12, to protect domestic steel industries while negotiations for long-term trade policies continue.

Impact: This quota may limit the volume of rectangular steel slabs (3 m length, 1.25 m width or more) imported from Denmark, potentially causing a short-term reduction in trade flow and affecting Danish exporters.
