[SMM Steel] Australia’s Anti-Dumping Commission (ADC) officially initiated an anti-dumping investigation on April 30, 2026 into galvanized steel imports from Vietnam and South Korea. The products under review are zinc-coated flat steel products with thickness ranging from 0.3mm to 3.5mm, in coil or sheet form, with zinc accounting for at least 50% of the coating composition. The case raises the risk of future anti-dumping duties if Australian authorities determine that low-priced imports caused injury to domestic producers. Vietnamese authorities advised exporters to closely monitor the investigation, prepare export pricing and production cost data, and strengthen legal defense strategies as global trade protection measures continue to increase.
