On May 21, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of Colombia issued Notice No. 121 in the Official Gazette, making a preliminary anti-dumping determination on welded pipes [Spanish: tubería soldada, de sección circular, de hierro o acero, de los tipos utilizados en la protección de cables eléctricos, de un diámetro nominal mayor o igual a 12.7 mm (1/2”) y menor o igual a 152.4 mm (6”) –Tubería Conduit] originating in China. It was preliminarily decided to impose provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of a minimum price. When the customs-declared FOB price of the products under investigation is lower than the minimum price, i.e., $1,019.50/mt, a provisional anti-dumping duty equivalent to the difference between the minimum price and the customs-declared price will be levied. The measures took effect on the date of publication of the notice in the Official Gazette and will remain valid for four months. The products under investigation are welded pipes with a circular cross-section made of iron or steel, with a nominal diameter ranging from 12.7 mm (inclusive) to 152.4 mm (inclusive), used for cable protection, and fall under the Colombian tariff code 7306.30.99.00.

On February 20, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of Colombia issued Notice No. 036 dated February 19, 2025, in the Official Gazette, stating that, in response to an application from the Colombian enterprise TENARIS TUBOCARIBE LTDA., an anti-dumping investigation was initiated on welded pipes originating in China.

[SMM Analysis] The Loose Market Pattern Remained Unchanged, and Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel Prices May Temporarily Hold Steady Next Week

[Loose Pattern Unchanged, GO Silicon Steel Prices Expected to Remain Stable Next Week] Currently, demand in the downstream transformer industry is clearly diverging. Orders for high-end projects such as ultra-high voltage and data center supporting facilities remain stable, underpinning demand for high-grade Hi-B silicon steel. However, orders for ordinary distribution transformers are sluggish, with demand for mid-to-low-grade resources remaining persistently weak. Most transformer enterprises maintain strategies of just-in-time procurement and low inventory operations, resulting in limited market purchasing enthusiasm. The supply side exhibits structural looseness, with ample circulating resources of ordinary CGO grain-oriented silicon steel in the market. Some small and medium-sized traders are offering slight price concessions to accelerate capital turnover. Meanwhile, high-end grade resources such as high magnetic induction and ultra-thin specifications remain tight, with top-tier enterprises holding firm on their quoted prices.
