Total US imports of steel from the UK in 2017 were 351 thousand tonnes with a value of £360m. This represents 5% of UK steel production in 2017, in tonnage. We are assisting UK industry in working with US customers to build their cases for the exemption of individual products from the tariffs on US steel imports announced by President Trump.
