The European Commission has launched an anti-dumping investigation into imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products (CRF) from India, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam. The probe follows a complaint filed by the European Steel Association (EUROFER) in August 2025, alleging that imports from the five countries are being dumped and causing injury to the EU steel industry.

The investigation will examine imports from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with a review of trends relevant to injury assessment covering January 1, 2022, through the end of the investigation period. Provisional measures may be imposed within seven months.

Products under investigation fall under CN codes ex 7209 15 00, 7209 16 90, 7209 17 90, 7209 18 91, ex 7209 18 99, ex 7209 25 00, 7209 26 90, 7209 27 90, 7209 28 90, 7211 23 30, ex 7211 23 80, ex 7211 29 00, 7225 50 80, and 7226 92 00.
