On September 15, 2023, Thailand’s Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, announced the initiation of a circumvention investigation of anti-dumping (AD) measures on hot-rolled flat steel products in coils and non-coils originating in China, following the application filed by the domestic companies.
