Malaysia imposes temporary duties on wide flat-rolled steel imports from four Asian countries.

Malaysia has imposed temporary anti-dumping duties on flat-rolled steel imports from China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The duties, ranging from 2.52% to 36.80%, apply to steel products over 600mm wide and are effective from January 11th for up to 120 days. The measures follow an August petition by a domestic producer, claiming imports were sold below market prices, harming the local industry. A final decision is expected by May 10th.
