ISLAMABAD: The National Tariff Commission (NTC) has extended anti-dumping duties on imports of cold-rolled steel coils and sheets originating in or exported from China for another five years, citing the likelihood of continued dumping and material injury to Pakistan’s domestic steel industry if the duties are withdrawn.

The National Tariff Commission (NTC) in Pakistan has extended anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled steel coils and sheets imported from China for another five years, citing potential harm to the domestic steel industry. The duties, ranging from 13.17% to 19.04%, will remain in effect from January 13, 2026. This decision follows the conclusion of a sunset review initiated on January 10, 2026, following an application from domestic producers Aisha Steel Mills Limited and International Steels Limited.
The review concluded that the likelihood of continued dumping and material injury to domestic producers was significant. The Commission determined that withdrawing the duties could lead to increased dumping, price undercutting, and adverse impacts on domestic manufacturers, including declines in production, sales, and profits. The review covered the period from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2025.
The identified Chinese exporters and producers facing the duties include Shougang Casey Steel Company Limited, Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel Company Limited, Beijing Shougang Cold Rolling Company Limited, and Handan Iron & Steel Group Han-Bao Company Limited. The exemption includes qualifying imports used solely for export or foreign grant-in-aid projects.
