Turkey’s Ministry of Commerce has imposed antidumping duties on imports of heavy plate from South Korea, according to a notification published in the Official Gazette.
The investigation concluded that South Korean exporters dumped heavy plate in the Turkish market, causing material injury to domestic producers. As a result, antidumping duties have been set at 4.37pct for Posco, 4.34pct for Hyundai Steel, and 9.40pct for all other South Korean producers. The duties, calculated as a percentage of the CIF price, took effect on August 30, 2025.
The probe was launched in 2024 following a petition by local steelmaker Eregli Demir ve Celik (Erdemir). The dumping investigation covered the period from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, while the injury assessment reviewed the longer timeframe of October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2023.
