The EU antidumping duties on hot rolled coils (HRC) from Russian producer Severstal will remain unchanged.
The European Commission has announced the termination of the partial interim review of the antidumping measures applicable to imports of Severstal's hot rolled flat products, as EUROFER withdrew its review request on March 18. Furthermore, according to the EC, "the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that a termination of the review investigation would not be in the Union interest." The definitive antidumping duty therefore remains at €17.7/mt. It should be noted that Severstal is currently unable to sell material in the EU due to the EU sanctions against Russia.
