Japan Launches Anti-Dumping Probe Into Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel From China, South Korea Amid Calls for Evasion Prevention

Japan has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into hot-dip galvanized steel imports from China and South Korea. This move aims to protect domestic steel producers amid a surge in alloy imports. The probe is part of Japan's broader efforts to address concerns over unfair trade practices and import competition. Following the launch of the investigation, Japanese steel industry groups have called for the establishment of measures to prevent evasion of anti-dumping duties. Steel associations in both Japan and the United States are advocating for stricter enforcement of anti-dumping regulations to curb the increase in steel exports from China.
