China to keep anti-dumping steel duties on EU, UK, S. Korea and Indonesia
China to keep anti-dumping steel duties on EU, UK, S. Korea and Indonesia

Beijing (AFP) June 30, 2025

China will maintain duties on certain steel products from the European Union, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Indonesia, its commerce ministry said Monday, as overcapacity concerns drive global trade turbulence.

The duties on stainless steel billets and hot-rolled plates, first levied by Beijing in 2019, range from 20.2 percent for Indonesian imports to 43 percent for those from the EU.

China's commerce ministry said that an internal investigation found the potential termination of the anti-dumping duties could still cause "damage" to the domestic stainless steel industry.

Authorities will therefore continue to impose duties on products from the three countries and the European bloc "for a period of five years starting from July 1", the ministry said in a statement.

China, the world's largest steel producer, first took the measures in response to tariffs imposed on it by the United States during Donald Trump's first presidential term.

The US tariffs were motivated by fears in Washington and among its allies that unfair industrial policies in China had led to a global glut of cheap exports, threatening to undercut local producers.

Since returning to office in January, Trump has sent the world economy into a tailspin with a tariff blitz that has hit Chinese exports particularly hard.

Trade tensions between the world's top two economies remain high despite China and the United States reaching a temporary truce to the tariff war this month.

The European Commission, in charge of EU trade policy, has been in talks with Washington for weeks, and the leaders of Europe's two biggest e ... read more
