According to the Official Gazette of the Federation, Mexico has launched an anti-dumping (AD) investigation into cold-rolled steel originating in the US, Malaysia, and China. The government also initiated a countervailing duty (CVD) probe on these products from the US. The inquiries are launched based on an application filed by local producer Ternium México.

The period for the investigation is from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, and the period for injury analysis is set from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2025.

These probes will determine whether permanent measures are necessary to protect the domestic steel industry from unfair pricing practices and foreign subsidies.

The subject goods are alloyed and non-alloyed cold-rolled steel without plating or coating, with a thickness less than 4.75 mm, regardless of their width.
