Japan Launches Anti-Dumping Probe Into Chinese and South Korean Galvanized Steel Imports

Japan has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into certain steel products imported from China and South Korea, specifically focusing on galvanized steel sheets and coils. The probe, announced by Japan's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, aims to determine whether anti-dumping duties should be imposed to protect domestic steel manufacturers from a surge in imports of these alloy products. This move represents Japan's latest effort to shield its local steel industry from competitive pressures posed by foreign imports.
