Malaysia imposes anti-dumping duties of up to 35pc on flat-rolled imports from China, Taiwan, Vietnam

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — The Malaysian government has imposed provisional anti-dumping duties of up to 35.06 percent on flat-rolled products imported from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. These duties, set to last up to 120 days, were enacted following a preliminary investigation that found sufficient evidence to warrant further scrutiny.

The investigation, initiated on July 17, 2026, was prompted by a petition from NS Bluescope Malaysia Sdn Bhd on behalf of the domestic industry. The petition alleged that the imported goods were sold at prices lower than the domestic market, causing material injury to local producers. The provisional duties, imposed by the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti), are in the form of guarantees matching the dumping margins. The final decision on the matter is expected by March 6, 2027.
