The government of Mexico has imposed import duties on certain types of steel imported from China and Taiwan, according to a government registry entry posted online (in Spanish) in early June 2017.
The conclusion of the lengthy registry entry states that tariffs ranging from 22 percent to 76 percent now are being imposed on designated types of steel from China and Taiwan.
Types of steel targeted include galvanized, galvannealed and other zinc-coated, flat-rolled steels.
“Based on the comprehensive analysis of the arguments and evidence described in this resolution, the Secretariat concluded that sufficient evidence exists to support the view [that] imports of coated flat steel originating in China and Taiwan were carried out under conditions of price discrimination and caused a threat of injury to the domestic industry of the like product,” the Mexican government registry entry states in its conclusions section.
