US import licenses for long products declined from 240,000 short tons in November ‘07 to 222,000 short tons in December, based on SIMA data. This is the lowest level of long products import licenses since we began tracking them in April 07 when they were 358,000 short tons. As you may have seen from earlier posts, SIMA import license data is a good indicator of actual import levels and is published before Department of Commerce import data is available. For more information on our collection of SIMA data, see our earlier posts “SIMA US long products import licenses for Sept, Oct, Nov 07″ and “Notes on SIMA licenses”.
