Mexico’s economy secretariat, SE, has announced that it has rejected the application of Chinese steelmaker Baoshan Iron & Steel (Baosteel) and Baosteel America, Baosteel’s subsidiary in the US, for the removal of existing antidumping (AD) duties imposed on coated flat steel imports from China, regardless of the country of origin.
In June this year, Mexico imposed antidumping duties on imports of coated flat steel from China and Taiwan ranging between 22.22 percent and 76.32 percent, deciding that there was enough evidence that the domestic industry was materially injured due to the mentioned imports.
The products subject to the antidumping duty currently falls under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7210.30.01, 7210.30.99, 7210.41.01, 7210.41.99, 7210.49.01, 7210.49.02, 7210.49.03, 7210.49.04, 7210.49.99, 7210.61.01, 7210.70.01, 7210.70.99, 7212.20.01, 7212.20.02, 7212.20.99, 7212.30.01, 7212.30.02, 7212.30.99, 7212.40.03, 7212.40.99, 7225.91.01, 7225.92.01, 7226.99.01, 7226.99.02, 9802.00.01, 9802.00.02, 9802.00.03, 9802.00.04, 9802.00.06, 9802.00.07, 9802.00.10, 9802.00.13, 9802.00.15 and 9802.00.19.
