Commission acts against unfairly traded imports of flat hot-rolled steel products

The duties, which will be enforced for five years, were imposed after an investigation demonstrated that the legal requirements for imposing definitive anti-dumping measures were met for all three countries.

The anti-dumping duties imposed range from 11.7% for Egypt, 6.9%-30% for Japan, and 12.1% for Vietnam. Duties provisionally imposed since 7 April 2024 will not be collected retroactively.

Imports from India were also investigated, but that investigation was terminated without the imposition of duties, because it was not established that Indian imports were dumped.

The EU industry for such products is in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. It collectively employs 38,000 people.
