Mexico Imposes Anti-Dumping Duty to Chinese 7 Types of Steel Products

2012-06-27

The Chinese products, especially from steel, garment, bike, and shoe industries are widely unfavorable to Mexican manufacturing industry. Mexico decided to impose anti-dumping duty on 7 types of Chinese steel products including galvanized hex steel wire mesh, welded steel chains, nuts, carbon steel butt-welded pipe fittings, seamless steel tubes, concrete steel nails and hydraulic jacks. From January to April 2012, Taiwan’s global export growth rate declined by 4.7% but the export to Mexico increased by 15%. Regarding the Chinese products imposed with the anti-dumping duty mentioned above, it is suggested that Taiwanese manufacturers can choose the ones that they are skilled in to actively develop the Mexican market.
