Feb 7 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court has upheld the
imposition of higher steel tariffs on some imported steel
products, rejecting the claim that the Trump administration
missed deadlines to impose them.
Tuesday's decision by the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals in Washington, D.C. covers imports of steel derivatives,
such as nails and fasteners, and reverses a ruling by the U.S.
Court of International Trade.
The Trump administration had imposed the tariffs in 2020,
after the Commerce Department said some steel imports threatened
national security by depressing the use of domestic
steel-producing capacity.
