Brazil’s Chamber of Foreign Trade (Camex) announced Monday that it will investigate the existence of commercial practices that could potentially damage current anti-dumping (AD) measures on low carbon flat finished steel imports from China.
Brazil applied AD measures on low carbon flat finished steel imports from China in October 2013, but Brazil steelmaker Usiminas made a formal request to Camex, arguing that Brazilian imports of the product with chrome addition were frustrating the efficiency of the current duties that were already applied in the steel.
Camex’s decision to investigate the alleged commercial practices was published on Monday at Diario Oficial da Uniao (DOU), Brazil’s official gazette. The investigation will comprise the period of April 2012 to March 2015.
