In order to make final injury determination within 40 days, which is specified in the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Anti-dumping Duties, please return the required data and materials to the TITA no later than May 21, 2025, by fax, airmail, or e-mail.

On April 28, 2025, the Trade Remedy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made affirmative preliminary determinations in its injury investigations involving two cases: one involving imports of certain flat hot-rolled steel products from China and the other involving imports of beer from China. The Trade Remedy Commission found that there are reasonable indications that the domestic flat hot-rolled steel products industry and the domestic beer industry in Taiwan (ROC) are materially injured by reason of imports from China. Both of the imports are alleged to have been sold in Taiwan (ROC) at less than normal value. Under the jurisdiction set forth in the Regulations Governing the Implementation of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties, the MOEA is in charge of investigations into whether a Taiwan (ROC) industry is injured by reason of imports. As a result of the MOEA's affirmative preliminary determinations, the Ministry of Finance will continue to conduct dumping investigations on imports of certain flat hot-rolled steel products and beer from China, and its preliminary determinations will be made within 70 days (unless extended) after the day following receipt of notification of the aforementioned determinations. The public version in Chinese of the preliminary injury investigation reports will be available after May 28, 2025 on the International Trade Administration's website https://www.trade.gov.tw/.

On February 18, 2025, the Trade Remedy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made a determination that revocation of antidumping duty order on certain cold-rolled stainless-steel products from China and Korea would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of injury to the domestic industry. The subject products in this case are SUS 300 series flat-rolled products of stainless steel, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), whether in coils or sheets. They primarily encompass grades such as SUS301, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 321, along with other corresponding specifications. Since August 15, 2013, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has imposed antidumping duties on these products from China and Korea. This was the second sunset review following the first conducted earlier. The requirements for continuing the imposition of antidumping duties in a sunset review case are that the MOF determines that the revocation of the duty would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the MOEA determines that the revocation of the duty would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of injury. The MOEA shall notify the MOF of the aforementioned determination of injury by the Trade Remedy Commission, and the MOF shall then decide whether to maintain the antidumping duty order. After March 18, 2025, a public version of the injury investigation report, in Chinese, will be available on the International Trade Administration's website (https://www.trade.gov.tw/).
