Mexico Investigating Coated Flat Rolled Imports from China
Written by Sandy Williams
Mexico will launch an antidumping probe on imports of Chinese cold-rolled flat coated steel. The investigation was prompted by a complaint by steelmakers Ternium Mexico and Tenigal which claimed the surge of imports between 2012 and April 2015 harmed domestic production.
In October, Mexico instituted a 15 percent tariff on steel products from counties with which it had no free trade agreement. Coated flat-rolled steel was excluded from that tariff.
