On April 16, 2026, the Korea Trade Commission issued Announcement No. 2026-8, making an affirmative preliminary anti-dumping ruling on galvanized cold-rolled steel originating in China, and recommended that the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of South Korea impose provisional anti-dumping duties on the affected products. The specific tax rates are as follows: Inner Mongolia Baogang Steel United Co., Ltd. and its affiliated enterprises and product exporters will be charged 22.34%, Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. and its affiliated enterprises and product exporters will be charged 26.28%, Yongtong Xingye Development Co., Ltd. - Hong Kong, China will be charged 33.67%, and other producers/exporters will be charged 25.75%.
The anti-dumping investigation was initiated on November 28, 2025. The dumping investigation period of the case is expected to be from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, and the injury investigation period is expected to be from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2025.
The products involved are cold-rolled sheets and coils of iron, carbon steel, and other alloy steels with a thickness of less than 4.75 millimeters, coated with zinc, zinc-aluminum, or zinc-aluminum-manganese. These include corrugated products and products coated with paint, varnish, and plastic, but exclude electro-galvanized coated products and alloy galvanized products made through annealing treatment. South Korea is one of China's important export markets for galvanized steel sheets and coils. The preliminary anti-dumping ruling will have a certain impact on China's exports of galvanized products. Relevant export enterprises need to closely monitor subsequent developments and promptly adjust their export strategies
