Imports liable to the antidumping duty

Imports liable to the antidumping duty are cold-rolled stainless steel coils or plates with less than or equal to 3.5-mm thickness, manufactured through tempering or different heating treatment processes and soaking or stain removal to clean all residues on the surface. These products can be treated further (such as cutting or sawing) provided that these processes do not change any technical features of products.

These products are classified under HS codes such as 7219.32.00; 7219.33.00; 7219.34.00; 7219.35.00; 7219.90.00; 7220.20.10; 7220.20.90; 7220.90.10; 7220.90.90.

Basic specifications: Stainless steel is mainly steel consisting of low carbon content (1.2% or lower, depending on the weight) in which the chrominium content accounts for 10.5% or higher, depending on the weight. The supplement of chrome content helps to create the stainless and anti-corrosive features. Amount of chrominium content available in steel is a key factor to form an extremely thin, almost invisible, layer of chromimum oxide with the stainless property firmly adhering to the steel surface. If there is any physical or chemical damage, oxidation resistance of stainless steel automatically heals these damages, corrosive effects and even minor scratches. The anti-corrosive property and other useful attributions of stainless steel are improved by increasing the chromium content and other factors such as nickel, molypden and nitrogen.

Main uses: Stainless steel products mentioned above are widely employed in the household appliance manufacturing industry (such as kitchen sink, pipe-shaped decoration furniture, water heating system, bathtub and other kits), car parts, building materials, kitchen utensils, tableware (saucepan, pot, knife and dish), wash basin, etc. Depending on the physical property of each stainless steel, it can serve different purposes.

Following product categories exempted from the application of antidumping measures: (1) cold-rolled stainless steel coils or plates, manufactured without carrying out tempering and heat treatment processes (Full hard); (2) cold-rolled stainless steel coils or plates with more than 3.5-mm thickness.

Current duty rate: ranging from 0% to 10%.

Origin of imports: Goods liable to the antidumping duty are imported or originated from the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Indonesia, Malaysia and the territory of Taiwan
