The Ukrainian authorities have announced the final antidumping rates within the framework of their investigations against steel bars made from carbon and alloy steels from Belarus and Moldova. The case was initiated by local mill ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, which is one of the two leading steel producers in Ukraine.
It was claimed that the mentioned suppliers had been supplying the products to Ukraine amid unfair competition, harming the local steel industry and that, moreover, the dumping margins increased by the end of the investigation period, from the second quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2021. As a result of the investigation, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine has amended the trade measure against Belarus-based mills, which also included suppliers from Moldova.
The decision will be in force within 30 days from the day of announcement and the announced antidumping rates are as follows:
