Thailand has announced the extension of anti-dumping (AD) duties on flat hot-rolled steel with boron additives imported from China for another five years. The decision follows a comprehensive review aimed at protecting the domestic steel industry. According to the latest review's findings, anti-dumping duties on Chinese producers will continue to range from 14.28% to 19.47%.
With the new regulation, these measures will apply to hot-rolled steel products containing more than 0.0008% boron, produced in both coil and non-coil forms. These products, which range in thickness from 0.9 mm to 50 mm and in width from 100 mm to 3,048 mm, are listed in the following HS codes:
7225.30.90.022, 7225.30.90.023, 7225.30.90.024, 7225.30.90.032, 7225.30.90.090, 7225.40.90.024, 7225.40.90.090, 40.90.090, 7226.91.10.022, 7226. 91.10.023, 7226.91.10.024, 7226.91.10.032, 7226.91.10.090, 7226.91.90.022, 7226.91.90.023, 7226.91.90.024, 7226.91.90.032 and 7226.91.90.090.
Thailand's anti-dumping duties, initially introduced to prevent the negative impact of low-priced imports on the domestic steel industry, protect the competitiveness of local producers against the influx of cheap steel from China. The Thai government expects these measures, which will last for another five years, to stabilize the domestic market and protect domestic producers from unfair competition.
