The European Commission has initiated an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Türkiye. This follows a request submitted by European steel association Eurofer on behalf of the EU industry on 1 April, Kallanish notes.
The products are currently subject to definitive anti-dumping duties. They cover flat-rolled products of iron, non-alloy steel or other alloy steel, whether or not in coils, including cut-to-length and narrow strip products, not further worked than hot rolled and not clad, plated or coated.
The products currently fall under CN codes 7208 10 00, 7208 25 00, 7208 26 00, 7208 27 00, 7208 36 00, 7208 37 00, 7208 38 00, 7208 39 00, 7208 40 00, 7208 52 10, 7208 52 99, 7208 53 00, 7208 54 00, ex 7211 13 00, ex 7211 14 00, ex 7211 19 00, ex 7225 19 10, 7225 30 90, ex 7225 40 60, 7225 40 90, ex 7226 19 10, ex 7226 91 91 and 7226 91 99.
Excluded from the scope are stainless steel, grain-oriented silicon electrical steel, tool steel, high-speed steel and certain heavy plate dimensions.
Interested parties have 37 days from publication of the notice in the Official Journal on 6 July to submit comments, while producers and unrelated importers wishing to be considered for sampling must provide the requested information within seven days. Sampled parties will then have 30 days to submit completed questionnaires.
The Commission normally expects to conclude the investigation within 12 months, and in any event no later than 15 months from the publication of the notice. Pending the outcome of the review, the existing anti-dumping duties will remain in force.
