The products subject to the investigation include hot-rolled carbon steel and other alloy steel processed into coils, sheets, and plates. Exemptions apply to stainless steel products, as well as flat-rolled products with a thickness of 4.Asian Metal Copyright9099, 7225.Asian Metal Copyright75 mm or greater and a width exceeding 600 mm that are in non-coil or cold-rolled forms.
