The Korea Trade Commission (KTC) launched its second anti-dumping (AD) sunset review investigation on H sections originating in China, based on applications submitted by domestic producers Hyundai Steel and Dongkuk Steel. The probe will determine if current AD duties on Chinese H sections should be extended.

The KTC will examine dumping practices between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, and assess domestic industry injury over the period from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2025.

Interested parties must register their participation within three weeks of the announcement.
