The European Commission announced the preliminary results of its anti-dumping (AD) investigation into imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron non-alloy or other steel from Egypt, India, Japan, and Vietnam.

According to the Commission’s preliminary ruling, the following provisional anti-dumping duties were proposed: 15.6% for Egypt’s Ezz Steel and all other Egyptian companies; 6.9% for Japan’s Tokyo Steel, 32.0% for Daido Steel and JFE Steel, 33.0% for Nippon Steel and all other Japanese companies; 12.1% for Vietnam’s Formosa Ha Tinh Steel and all other Vietnamese companies, excluding Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel. Additionally, the Commission didn’t propose any provisional duties on Indian companies, as no dumping was found during the investigation period.
