The European Commission (EU) has announced the final results of its anti-dumping (AD) investigation into imports of certain iron, unplanned or other hot alloy steel from Egypt, Japan and Vietnam, as well as the termination of the investigation into imports originating from India. The investigation covered the period from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

The investigation was initially launched in August 2024 at the request of the European Steel Association (Eurofer), arguing that there was evidence of dumping and significant injuries sustained that were sufficient to justify launching an investigation.
