SHANGHAI, Feb. 13 (SMM) – LME tin is expected to stay firm on Monday and will move at USD 19,300-19,650/mt. SHFE 1705 tin advanced sharply on last Friday’s night trading with position closing by shorts and finally closed at RMB 148,300/mt. The contract will fluctuate between RMB 147,000-149,000/mt on Monday.

In China’s domestic market, some smelters will rush to sell goods at high prices and goods under hedging will be hard to sell. Smelters are expected to start shipment. Quiet demand will restrain any growth in spot tin. Spot tin will trade at RMB 146,500-148,500/mt on Monday.

[SMM Tin News] US Makes Preliminary Anti-dumping Determination on Tinplate

On September 17, 2026, the US Department of Commerce issued a notice announcing its preliminary affirmative determination in the antidumping duty investigation on tinplate imported from China, preliminarily finding a dumping margin of 136.52% for Chinese exporters/producers (adjusted to 130.17% after offsetting subsidies as the cash deposit rate). Because the enterprises involved failed to respond to the investigation, the US reached its determination using adverse facts available. The products subject to this investigation are primarily classified under US HS codes 7210.11.0000, 7210.12.0000, 7210.50.0020, 7210.50.0090, 7212.10.0000, 7212.50.0000, 7225.99.0090, and 7226.99.0180.
