Govt Initiates Expiry Review Of Anti-Dumping Duties On China, Vietnam Steel Coils Imports

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- The government has initiated an expiry review of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of prepainted, painted or colour-coated steel coils (subject merchandise) originating or imported from China and Vietnam.

In a statement, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) said the review was initiated based on the request by CSC Steel Sdn Bhd on the grounds that the expiry of the duties would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry.

It said the government evaluated and considered the information, and decided to initiate an expiry review on imports of the subject merchandise from China and Vietnam, pursuant to subsection 28C(6) of the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Act 1993 (Act 504) and regulation 34 of the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties Regulations 1994.

MITI said a final determination of the expiry review would be made within 180 days from the date of initiation. 

The period of review for the investigation has been set from Jan 1, 2025, to Dec 31, 2025, it said.

The ministry also said that relevant interested parties may submit their written views, questionnaire responses and supporting information electronically through the Trade Remedies Investigation Management System (TRIMA) by Aug 17, 2026. 

The system can be assessed at https://traderemedies.miti.gov.my.

It added that if the required information and views are not submitted, or are not received in an adequate form within the stipulated timeframe, the government may make its final determination based on the available facts in accordance with Section 41 of Act 504.
