SteelOrbis has been informed that Indian-origin HDG of 0.30 mm thickness is being offered to Italy at the level of €945/mt CFR Ravenna for June/July shipment. The offer in question is given for 200gr/m² zinc coating material.
Although the Indian government has not yet issued an official announcement, the export duty to be imposed on galvanized material is expected to be five percent. There are some offers given to Italy from China and Taiwan for previously taken positions. The Italian HDG market cannot be said to be doing well for the moment.
