The investigation was requested by domestic steel producers CSN and Tekno Industry and Trade. Accordingly, Brazil steel producers have asked the government to impose tariffs on imported steel products. The total amount of steel and iron imported from China increased from $1.6 billion in 2014 to $2.7 billion last year. According to domestic producers, in the first eight months of this year, Brazil imported more than 148,000 tons from China and over 5,000 tons from India. The large volume of steel imports from China and India has made the business situation of domestic enterprises difficult. Therefore, the Brazilian Federal Government has conducted an investigation and will reach a conclusion regarding the imposition of anti-dumping duties on pre-coated steel products imported from these two countries. This tax is intended to regulate prices and protect the domestic market.Chinese and Indian exporters react: Chinese and Indian manufacturers and governments have protested against the measures, arguing that they are unfair and detrimental to free trade. They may also file complaints with international trade organizations such as the WTO.Impact of the event: With the investigation and the imposition of anti-dumping duties on pre-painted steel products from the world's two largest steel-producing countries, China and India, this could escalate trade tensions between these countries and Brazil, affecting global steel prices and supplies.The surge in steel imports is a particularly challenging problem for the Federal government of Brazil.
