[SMM Iron & Steel] 반덤핑 조치에 힘입어 브라질 완성강 무역 적자 크게 축소

The European Commission has proposed definitive anti-dumping duties of 5.6-28% on certain cold-rolled coil (CRC) imports from India, Japan, Taiwan, Turkiye and Vietnam, concluding that dumped imports caused material injury to EU producers. Indian exporters including JSW Steel and Tata Steel India are likely to face a 9.5% duty, while Japanese suppliers could face the highest rate at 28% and Taiwan’s China Steel and Chung Hung Steel may face 20.7%. Vietnamese exporters including POSCO Vietnam, China Steel & Nippon Steel Vietnam and Hoa Sen Group are proposed to face a 16% duty. The proposed measures follow an investigation covering July 2024-June 2025, during which imports from the five countries rose 28% from 2022 to about 1.69 million mt, with their combined share of the EU free market increasing to 23% from 16%. The Commission said lower-priced imports pressured EU producers’ prices, market share and profitability. The duties are expected to apply only after the final regulation enters into force, with no retroactive collection. If adopted, the measures could further restrict CRC flows into the EU and reshape sourcing patterns, particularly alongside existing safeguard quotas and other trade barriers.
