According to the Chinese Association of Ferrous Metallurgy (CISA), in the first six months of 2026, steel exports from China showed a general downward trend in volumes at stable prices, while exports of billets increased significantly. Foreign authorities have initiated 12 original investigations into Chinese steel products, which has put strong trade pressure on the steel industry. In the period from July to December, stricter external restrictions are expected. In addition, CISA notes that the new EU protective measures for steel reduce quotas and introduce a rule of origin for "melting and casting." Combined with the ongoing global geopolitical turmoil, the export situation is becoming increasingly difficult.
In the next stage, according to CISA, it is extremely important to ensure strict compliance with the steel export licensing system and adhere to the principles of promoting high-quality products. Stabilization of neighboring markets and stricter supervision strengthen the industry's self-discipline and optimize the export structure. CISA stated that efforts should be aimed at deepening cooperation with neighboring and emerging markets, actively resolving trade differences and bringing them into line with international rules. These measures are aimed at stimulating the transition of steel exports to higher added value and more environmentally friendly development, ensuring a sustainable and orderly nature. height.
