Malaysia imposes preliminary anti-dumping duties on tinplate imports

Malaysia has imposed preliminary anti-dumping duty on imports of tinplate from several countries, Kallanish notes. 

The products covered are flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600mm or more, clad, plated or coated with tin (electrolytic tinplate or tinplate) originating or exported from China, India, Japan and South Korea, at rates ranging from 2.52% to 36.8%,

Its Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) says the government has completed the preliminary determination of the anti-dumping duty investigation and has found that there are sufficient evidence to continue with further investigation on the importation of the subject merchandise from these countries. 

"Therefore, the government has decided to impose a provisional measure, which shall be in the form of provisional antidumping duties guaranteed by a security equivalent to the amount of the dumping margins determined in the preliminary determination," it says.

It notes that the provisional anti-dumping duties are necessary to prevent further injury to the domestic industry will be applied on imports of subject merchandise from these countries and shall be effective not more than 120 days, beginning from 11 January. 

Malaysia initiated its antidumping duty investigation into imports of tinplate in August 2024. The investigation was initiated based on a petition filed by Perusahaan Sadur Timah Malaysia (Perstima) on behalf of the domestic industry producing the product.

Perstima claimed that imports originating or exported from these countries are being imported into Malaysia at a price lower than the selling price in the domestic market and this has caused material injury to the industry in Malaysia.
