According to the report, the South Korea Trade Commission, under the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, announced that it had launched an anti-dumping investigation to import heavy steel plates from China, which are mostly used in shipbuilding.
The Commission will close the case or continue to a full-scale investigation after a three-month preliminary review and make a decision within three months on whether they would impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese suppliers.
The HS codes for the products involved are 7208.51.1000, 7208.51.9000, 7208.52.1000, 7208.52.9000, 7225.40.9010, 7225.40.9091 and 7225.40.9099.
