The Mexican Secretariat of Economy (SE) has initiated an anti-dumping (AD) investigation on imports of coated flat steels from Vietnam, regardless of country of origin, based on an application filed by domestic companies Ternium and Tenigal, which claimed for unfair practices of international trade.
The two companies said that if countervailing duties are not imposed, the dumped imports will sharply increase in the near future and worsen the injury which domestic production has been suffering.
The products involved are under tariff codes 7210.30.02, 7210.41.01, 7210.41.99, 7210.49.99, 7210.61.01, 7210.70.02, 7212.20.03, 7212.30.03, 7212.40.04, 7225.91.01, 7225.92.01, and 7226.99.99 of the TIGIE, conforming to ASTM A653, ASTM A755, ASTM A792, ASTM A875, ASTM A1046, and ASTM A1079.
The period of investigation was from January 1 to December 31, 2020, and the damage analysis period was from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020.
The Secretariat may apply the final countervailing duties on subject goods that have been declared for consumption at most 90 days before the date of application of temporary measures.
