EC Initiates Partial Interim Review of Antidumping Measures Against Certain SS Fasteners from China and Taiwan

According to the Official Journal of the EU released on June 6, a partial interim review of the antidumping measures against the imports of certain stainless steel fasteners from China and Taiwan (with product CN code falling within 7318 12 10, 7318 14 10, 7318 15 30, 7318 15 51, 7318 15 61, 7318 15 70) will be initiated. The review was currently requested by Sheh Kai Precision Co., Ltd. from Taiwan. As an exporting producer, Sheh Kai think that its bi-metal self-tapping and self-drilling screws having shanks and heads made of stainless steel and points of carbon steel (product CN code ex 7318 14 10) should be exempted from the measures due to the different physical, technical, chemical characteristics. With this request, European Commission will send questionnaires to all related producers and organizations who should submit information and supporting evidence within 37 days of the date of the publication of notice in the Official Journal. The investigation will be concluded within 15 months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal.
