【SMM Steel】Taiwan's Customs Administration announced an anti-dumping investigation on cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel products from South Korea and China on December 15, following China Steel Corporation's application alleging unfairly priced imports potentially harming domestic industry. The Customs Administration initiated the probe after concluding reasonable suspicion of dumping and injury. The Ministry of Economic Affairs will preliminarily determine industry damage within 40 days, followed by the Ministry of Finance's dumping assessment within 70 days to decide provisional AD duties, with interested parties required to submit information within 20 days of the announcement. The products involved are cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel with thickness 0.135-0.715 mm, excluding steel tested at 50 Hz and maximum magnetic flux density 1.5Wb/m2 with iron loss values above 13.00W/kg or below 1.80W/kg, primarily used in motors, transformers, voltage regulators and electromagnetic switches, classified under 26 HS codes.
