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/).
