The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) which includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Armenia, has announced that it has started an antidumping (AD) duty investigation on hot rolled steel angle imports from Ukraine.
The EEC stated that in the July 2015-March 2016 period the average price of hot rolled steel angles imported from Ukraine was lower than that of angles produced in the Eurasian Economic Union.
The investigation was launched following the application lodged by Russian steel producer Evraz Group’s subsidiaries Evraz ZSMK and Evraz NTMK and supported by Russian producers Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) and Severstal.
The products in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7216 21 0000, 7216 40 1000, 7216 50 1000, 7216 50 9900 and 7228 70 1000.
