EU imposes anti-dumping duties on stainless steel from China, Taiwan

Brussels

THE European Union will impose anti-dumping duties from Thursday on imports of cold-rolled stainless steel sheet from China and Taiwan, according to a notice on Wednesday in the EU's Official Journal.

The EU will apply tariffs of up to 25.2 per cent for imports from China and up to 12 per cent for Taiwanese products, following a complaint which was lodged in May 2014 by the European steel producers association, Eurofer.
