Govt to probe steel imports on claims cheap imports damaging domestic sector


PETALING JAYA: The Government is investigating claims that cheap imports of several types of steel products have caused “material injury” to the operations of domestic steel millers.

The International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) said it would consider imposing a “preliminary anti-dumping duty” if the prices of imported hot rolled coils (HRC), chequered coils and pickled and oiled (P&O) coils from China, Indonesia and South Korea are found to be much lower than their own domestic market.
