The European Commission has initiated a trade case investigating allegedly dumped hot-rolled coil imports from Egypt, India, Japan, and Vietnam.

The European Steel Association (EUROFER) filed the complaint in June, according to an Aug. 8 notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The dumping margins are “significant” for all four countries, according to the case initiation notice.

The EC’s investigation of dumping and determination of injury to member states’ markets will cover the period April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

Provisional measures may be imposed in 7-8 months. The EC intends to conclude the investigation in 12-14 months.
