EU Commission introduces anti-dumping measures against two steel derivatives

The European Commission is imposing anti-dumping duties on Chinese headless screws to protect EU industry.

The European Commission has announced the introduction of final anti-dumping duties on imports of headless screws (also known as headless screws) manufactured in the People's Republic of China.

These duties, which range from 54.7% to 72.3%, were imposed after a thorough investigation revealed unfair trade practices. The aim of these measures is to restore fair competition in the European market worth 500 million euros.

Headless screws, including threaded rods, anchor bolts, and U—bolts, are important components used to mechanically connect parts in a wide range of industries.

These include construction, automotive, renewable energy, electrical appliances, and agriculture

The EU's production base for these products is strategically distributed across ten member states: Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Poland.

By addressing the problem of unfair imports, the European Commission seeks to create equal conditions for European producers and ensure that competition conditions are not distorted by imports at artificially low prices.

EUROMETAL welcomes this decision and confirms the importance of extending similar protection to all metal derivatives and processed products. We actively urge the Commission to include steel derivatives in the revised protective measures to ensure reliable protection of the entire steel value chain.
