On January 22, 2026, the Moroccan Ministry of Industry and Trade initiated a second sunset review regarding safeguard measures on imported hot-rolled steel sheets, coiled or uncoiled. This action was reported to the WTO Committee on Safeguards. All interested parties have 30 days from the start date to submit their comments regarding the review.

The current duties originated from a 2023 sunset review, which set a three-year tax schedule starting at 23% and decreasing by 1% annually. These existing measures remain active until June 18, 2026.

The investigation covers HS codes 72.08, 72.11.13, 72.11.14, 72.11.19, 72.25.30, 72.25.40, 72.26.20.00.11, 72.26.20.00.21, 72.26.20.00.30, 72.26.20.00.40, 72.26.20.00.51, 72.26.20.00.52, 72.26.20.00.59, 72.26.91, 72.26.99.90.91, and 72.26.99.90.99.
