The Ukrainian authorities have announced the launch of an anti-dumping investigation into the import of steel bars and corners from the Republic of Turkey. A petition was filed by local steel producer ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, according to which the relevant commission stated that there was sufficient evidence that the import of these products from Turkey to Ukraine could have been carried out at dumping prices. The level of dumping margin cannot be considered minimal, and incoming volumes cannot be considered insignificant. It was also stated that the average import prices from Turkey are lower than the cost of a mill in Ukraine, while Turkey has significant export potential and the ability to quickly increase the production of ingots and corners.
The investigation covers the period from 2021 to the first half of 2025, and over the next 30 days, the Ministry of Economy will register the opinions of stakeholders; within 60 days from the start of the investigation on March 10, the ministry will study comments and information on the case.
The anti-dumping case covers the import of steel bars under the codes 7213 10 00 00, 7213 91 10 00, 7213 91 41 00, 7213 91 49 00, 7213 91 70 00, 7213 91 90 00, 7213 99 10 00, 7213 99 90 00, 7214 20 00 00, 7214 91 10 00, 7214 91 90 00, 7214 99 10 00, 7214 99 50 00, 7214 99 95 00, 7227 20 00 00 00, 7227 90 10 00, 7228 20 91 00.
