SteelOrbis has learned from a market source that Mexican CRC import prices from China rose by $20-30/mt to $370-$380/mt CFR LO, from $350-360/mt CFR LO in mid-January.
Certain Chinese imports, such as slab, CRC, HRC, heavy plate and wire rod, pay a provisional 15 percent imports tariff, plus any other existing AD duty, be it a provisional or a definite one, depending on the country and on the product.
Mexico is said to be analyzing an extension in both the deadline and list of products that pay the 15 percent tariff.
