[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Taiwan (PoC)'s Stainless Imports Drop as Prices Surge Amid AD Investigation Against Vietnam

Taiwan (PoC)'s stainless steel import volumes declined for a second consecutive month in August to approximately 92,700 tonnes, while import prices surged sharply to a three-year high. The price spike coincided with the official launch of an anti-dumping investigation into cold-rolled stainless steel from Vietnam on August 14, which market participants view as a deterrent against low-priced foreign material sources. Export volumes held steady at around 70,800 tonnes in August, with export prices edging slightly lower MoM but remaining near recent highs.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Taiwan (PoC)'s Yusco & Tang Eng Report Stable Cumulative Revenue Growth Through August

Taiwan (PoC)'s Yusco achieved consolidated revenue of approximately NT$25.92 billion in the first eight months of 2026, up 1.65% YoY, while Tang Eng Iron Works recorded cumulative eight-month consolidated revenue of NT$6.84 billion, rising 0.56% YoY. For August alone, Yusco posted NT$3.69 billion, up 8.9% MoM but down 6.83% YoY, while Tang Eng reported NT$669 million, falling 23.97% MoM and 27.6% YoY. Frequent upstream price adjustments contributed to modest revenue stabilization, though growth rates remained tempered by softer-than-expected market demand. Lower comparison bases from the prior year could support larger revenue gains for both producers in the second half.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Vietnamese Stainless Steel Producers Contest AD Allegations at Taiwan (PoC)'s Trade Hearing

Vietnamese stainless steel producers Yongjin Metal Technology and Tan Viet presented their defense at Taiwan (PoC)'s anti-dumping trade hearing on September 14. Legal representatives argued that Vietnamese cold-rolled stainless steel imports account for only 8% of Taiwan (PoC)'s market demand, insufficient to constitute material injury. They further contended that Taiwan (PoC)'s local production, sales volumes, capacity utilization, and employee counts have all increased since 2023 while inventories declined, and that falling import prices reflect broader East Asian market trends rather than intentional underpricing. Defense counsel also asserted that rising Vietnamese shipments replaced third-country suppliers rather than displacing local manufacturers, and that Taiwan (PoC)'s domestic industry profit declines preceded the expansion of Vietnamese import volumes. Domestic petitioners Yusco and Tang Eng maintained that low-priced imports have forced local price cuts and eroded earnings. Investigators must now determine whether a causal link exists between Vietnamese shipments and injury to Taiwan (PoC)'s domestic market.
