The Ukrainian authorities have announced the start of an antidumping investigation against imports of steel bars and angles from the Republic of Turkey. The petition was filed by local steel producer ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, according to which the relevant commission stated that there is enough evidence regarding the fact that imports of the mentioned products from Turkey to Ukraine could have been carried out at dumped prices. The level of the dumping margin cannot be considered to be a minimal one and the incoming volumes as insignificant ones. It was also stated that the average prices for imports from Turkey were lower than the production costs of the mill in Ukraine, while Turkey has a significant export potential and the possibility to rapidly increase its output of bars and angles.

The investigation covers the period from 2021 through the first half of 2025, and over the next 30 days the Ministry of Economy will be registering the opinions of the interested parties; over 60 days from the start of the investigation on March 10 the ministry will be looking into the comments and information regarding the case.

The antidumping case covers the imports of the steel bars under the following codes:
