On 27 August 2015, the Government of Malaysia initiated an anti-dumping investigation based on a petition filed by CSC Steel Sdn. Bhd. on behalf of the domestic industry producing Cold Rolled Coils of Alloy and Non-Alloy Steel. The petitioner alleged that imports of Cold Rolled Coils of Alloy and Non-Alloy Steel originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam are being imported into Malaysia at a price lower than the selling price in their respective domestic markets. The petitioner claimed that this is causing material injury to the domestic industry in Malaysia producing the like product. 

The Government has conducted and completed a detailed investigation on producers and importers in Malaysia, as well as producers/exporters from the alleged countries in accordance with the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Act 1993.

The final affirmative anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of Cold Rolled Coils of Alloy and Non-Alloy Steel from the People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam are as follows:
 

The Government has also made a final determination that the definitive anti-dumping duties will not be imposed on:

1. Tin Mill Black Plate; and
2. Cold Rolled Coils of Alloy and Non-Alloy Steel for automotive end-usage.

The Royal Malaysian Customs Department will enforce the collection of anti-dumping duties and this measure will be effective for five (5) years, from 24 May 2016 to 23 May 2021. With the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of Cold Rolled Coils of Alloy and Non-Alloy Steel from the alleged countries, it is expected that the issue of unfair trade practices will be addressed.

Interested parties such as local producers and importers, as well as foreign producers/exporters and associations related to the investigation can have access to the non-confidential version of the public report on the final determination by submitting a written request to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry as follows:
