Taiwan's Trade Remedy Commission Makes Affirmative Injury Determinations in Non-oriented Electrical Steel Antidumping Investigation and Aluminum Foil Sunset Review
Taiwan's Trade Remedy Commission Makes Affirmative Injury Determinations in Non-oriented Electrical Steel Antidumping Investigation and Aluminum Foil Sunset Review
On November 9, 2026 the Trade Remedy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made an affirmative final determination in its injury investigation concerning cold-rolled, flat-rolled non-oriented electrical steel products from Korea and China. The Trade Remedy Commission found that the domestic industry in Taiwan (ROC) is materially injured by reason of imports from Korea and China that have been found by the Ministry of Finance to be sold in Taiwan (ROC) at less than normal value.
On the same date, the Trade Remedy Commission also made a determination that the revocation of antidumping duty order on certain aluminum foil from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of injury to the domestic industry.
Pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Anti-dumping Duties, the MOEA shall notify the Ministry of Finance of its determinations. Upon receipt of this notification, the Ministry of Finance shall decide whether to impose antidumping duties on imports of cold-rolled, flat-rolled non-oriented electrical steel products from Korea and China. The Ministry shall also decide whether the existing antidumping duty order on certain aluminum foil from China should be maintained.
The public version in Chinese of the injury investigation reports will be available after December 9, 2026 on the International Trade Administration's website (https://www.trade.gov.tw/).
