China has extended anti-dumping duties on stainless steel products for a number of countries, amid tensions with its major trading partners triggered by their complaints about the regime’s unfair trade policies.
Countries on the list unveiled by the commerce ministry on June 30 include the European Union, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Indonesia. The duties, which range from 20.2 percent to 103.1 percent, target stainless steel billets and hot rolled stainless steel plates. The tariff extensions last for five more years, beginning on July 1.
