Section 232 Investigation into Imports of Electrical Steel and Transformer-Related Products





























































SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey of the U.S. grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) industry and related transformer parts sector. Specifically, this survey is intended for companies that import, distribute, or produce laminations for stacked cores for incorporation into transformers, stacked and wound cores for incorporation into transformers, electrical transformers, and transformer regulators markets. The survey results will be used to support an ongoing investigation on the effect of imports of GOES and select downstream GOES products on the U.S. national security initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended.

The principal goal of this survey is to assist the U.S. Department of Commerce in determining whether electrical steel and transformer-related products are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security. Information collected will include facilities and production data, capacity utilization, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, customers, sales and demand data, employment information, conditions of domestic and global competition, research and development, and other factors. The resulting data will provide the U.S. Department of Commerce detailed steel industry information that is otherwise not publicly available and needed to effectively conduct this Section 232 investigation.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Information furnished herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Section 705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the national defense. Information will not be shared with any non-government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), should it be the subject of a FOIA request.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.

Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) Also called Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel (CRGO),a flat-rolled alloy steel product which has is specially processed so that optimal properties are developed in the rolling direction; containing by weight at least 0.6 percent but not more than 6 percent of silicon (typically 3.2%), not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other element in an amount that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel, in coils or in straight lengths. GOES is typically available in thicknesses of 0.23 mm, 0.27mm, 0.30mm, and 0.35mm (called M3, M4, M5 and M6, respectively). The lower the thickness, the better the quality of material in terms of core losses (eddy current loss and hysteresis loss). GOES that is relevant to this investigation is currently classifiable under subheadings 7225.11.0000, 7226.11.1000, 7226.11.9030, and 7226.11.9060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) A 10-digit numbering system that classifies a good based on its name, use, and/or the material used in its construction. The number provides Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with a standardized method of tracking all merchandise imported into the United States and sets out the tariff rates and statistical categories.

Import Value Values reported should be landed, duty-paid values at the U.S. port of entry, including ocean freight and insurance costs, brokerage charges, and import duties (i.e., all charges except inland freight in the United States).

Inventory The goods or materials an organization holds for its own use or for the ultimate goal of sale.

Laminations Flat rolled products, not in coils, made from electrical steel, that have been cut to a shape and undergone punching, coating, or other operations for their use as part of a transformer and are classified under HTSUS 8504.90.9634

Non-Oriented Electrical Steel (NOES) Also called Cold Rolled Non-Grain Oriented Steel (CRNGO), is electrical steel typically with a silicon level of 2 – 3.5% and have similar magnetic properties in all directions of the plane of the sheet. NOES is principally used for motors, generators, alternator, ballasts and small transformers. NOES is covered by HTSUS Codes 7225.19.0000 , 7226.19.1000, and 7226.19.9000.

Non-U.S. Facility A facility that is physically located outside of the United States.

Organization A company, firm, laboratory, or other entity that owns or controls one or more U.S. establishment or facility capable of designing and/or manufacturing steel products.

Product/Process Development Conceptualization and development of steel product or steel production techniques prior to the production of the product for customers (i.e., utilities, governmental agencies etc.).

Production The process of transforming inputs (raw materials, semi-finished goods, subassemblies, ideas, information, knowledge) into goods or services.

Research & Development Basic and applied research in the engineering sciences, as well as design and development of prototype products and processes.  Efforts that an organization conducts towards innovating, introducing and/or improving products and processes.

Supplier An entity from which your organization obtains inputs, which may be goods or services. A supplier may be another organization with which you have a contractual relationship, or it may be another facility owned by the same parent organization.

Transformer An electrical apparatus that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another without any direct electrical connection by the electromagnetic induction of an alternating electrical current between two or more magnetically coupled coils or windings. Transformers are used to either increase (step-up) or decrease (step-down) the voltage of an alternating electrical current within the circuitry of electrical equipment or systems. The magnetic circuit where the voltage is transformed form the core of the transformer, and is often made from grain-oriented electrical steel. Transformers are classified according to their power handling capacity and type of insulation in HTSUS categories 8504.21, 8504.22, 8504.23, 8504.31, 8504.32, 8504.33 and 8504.34. For purposes of this investigation, dry transformers with a power handling capacity of less than or equal to 1KVA are excluded from the subject product scope.

Voltage Regulator A device designed to automatically regulate distribution line voltages within a desired range. These products are classified within HTSUS 9032.89.4000. (Note: This HTSUS classification includes products other than voltage regulators not subject to this investigation)
