[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Brazil Issues Positive AD Preliminary Ruling on Asian Stainless HRC

Published: May 12, 2026 09:39
Brazil's Secretariat of Foreign Trade (SECEX) issued Circular No. 33, confirming preliminary dumping and injury findings regarding hot-rolled stainless steel imports from China, Indonesia, and India. The calculated dumping margins are 50.1% for China, 25.3% for Indonesia, and 17.9% for India. However, authorities have opted not to impose provisional duties at this stage, citing the complexity of the multi-origin investigation and the need for further review. The final determination, which affects HRC and sheets with thicknesses of 2mm to 50.8mm (including NCM 7219 and 7220 headings), is scheduled for release on November 25, 2026.
