Anti-dumping

On 7 July 2016, the European Commission initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Brazil, Iran, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine (Notice No. 2016/C 246/08). The products subject to investigation are classified under the following HS 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, 7208.52.99, 7208.53.90, 7208.54.00, 7211.14.00, 7211.19.00, 7225.19.10, 7225.30.10, 7225.30.30, 7225.30.90, 7225.40.12, 7225.40.15, ex 7225.40.60, 7225.40.90, 7226.19.10, ex 7226.20.00, 7226.91.20, 7226.91.91 and 7226.91.99. The complaint was lodged on 23 May 2016 by the European Steel Association Eurofer on behalf of producers representing more than 25% of the EU production of the subject goods.
 
On 7 January 2017, the European Commission imposed a Customs registration requirement on the above goods from Brazil and Russia for a period of nine months.

On 7 October 2017, the European Commission imposed a definitive antidumping duty on imports of the subject good from Brazil, Iran, Russia, and Ukraine. The rate of duty on imports from Brazil is between EUR 53.4 and 63 (USD 62.64 and 73.90) per tonne depending on the company. The rate of duty on imports from Iran is EUR 57.5 (USD 67.45) per tonne. The rate of duty on imports from Russia is between EUR 17.6 and 96.5 (USD 20.65 and 113.20) per tonne depending on the company. The rate of duty on imports from Ukraine is EUR 60.5 (USD 70.97) per tonne. No duty was imposed on imports from Serbia.

On 3 September 2019, the European Commission issued Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1382 suspending or amending the definitive duty imposed on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine if a specific safeguard duty is also imposed on the same good. More specifically, in cases when the definitive safeguard duty of 25% out of quota is applied on the subject good (see related state act), the definitive antidumping duty is suspended on imports from Iran, Brazil, Ukraine and a number of Russian companies whilst the remaining Russian companies are subject to a reduced duty level. The rate of reduced definitive duty is EUR 23.39 per tonne. This decision follows a notice issued in April 2019 and following comments from interested parties.
