Published: Jun 9, 2026 17:39
【SMM Steel】Taiwan's China Steel Corporation is preparing to sue Indonesian hot-rolled coil exporters for dumping, as Indonesian HRC orders to Taiwan exceeded 5000 tonnes in June alone surpassing all of last year's volume. CSC called the move "pure hostility" and said it has evidence for a trade lawsuit. Meanwhile Taiwan also faces separate AD allegations from Japan over hot-rolled steel filed by Nippon Steel and others. Japan launched AD probes on June 1 covering HR and CR flat steel from China South Korea and Taiwan. Estimated dumping margins for Taiwan HRC 3-20% and CRC 2-15%. Taiwan's industry is split between counter-retaliation and negotiated settlement.
