On July 17, 2026, the Malaysian government initiated an anti-dumping (AD) investigation into imports of flat-rolled products of alloy and non-alloy steel, plated or coated with aluminum and zinc, originating from or exported by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
The petition was filed by domestic producer NS BlueScope Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., representing the local industry. The subject products are classified under the following HS codes and ASEAN Harmonised Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN) codes: 7210.61.11 00, 7210.61.12 00, 7210.61.91 00, 7210.61.92 00, 7210.61.99 00, 7212.50.23 00, 7212.50.24 00, 7212.50.29 00, 7225.92.90 00, 7225.99.90 00, 7226.99.19 00, and 7226.99.99 00.
The petitioner contends that rising import volumes from the three named countries have caused material injury to domestic producers, citing documented effects including shrinking market share, price suppression, declining sales, rising inventory levels, reduced profitability, lower capacity utilization, and diminished returns on investment.
