Chinese Taiwan's Customs Administration under the Ministry of Finance has formally launched an anti-dumping investigation into certain cold-rolled flat-rolled stainless steel products imported from Vietnam, following a petition filed by Yusco and Tang Eng Iron Works. The investigative period covers July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The Ministry of Economic Affairs will assess potential industrial damage within 40 days of receiving the notification, while the Ministry of Finance reviews dumping margins. Products under investigation are cold-rolled stainless steel flat products in coils or sheets with thickness of 0.05–6.10mm, nickel content of 5–20%, chromium content of 15–25%, manganese content up to 3%, and aluminum content up to 0.5%, excluding coated or plated products. Officials noted that surging import volumes priced below domestic production costs have caused severe market share losses and financial strain for local producers.
