The global compliance net is tightening faster than most buyers can adapt. But while others scramble, CNB Group is already compliant.
This week’s global trade shocks:
Q4 steel quotas opened on October 1. By October 8, 35.9% was already consumed, with 45 order numbers exhausted .
On October 5, Commerce maintained anti-dumping duties on Chinese cut-to-length carbon steel plate, with a 128.59% dumping margin if removed .
Recommended combined duties of up to 55.1% on Chinese steel plate, with uncooperative exporters facing the full rate .
Steel production came to a complete halt in September, the first full week of zero output in 100 years .
Non-FTA stainless steel billet quotas cut by over 90%; over-quota tariffs at 50% .
The common thread? The global market is no longer just asking “What is your price?” It is asking: “Where was your steel melted? What is your carbon footprint? Can you prove it?”
