Russia imposed limitation on import of galvanized rolling from Kazakhstan

/Kazakhstan today, August 06, 02/ - On Monday, August 05, RF introduced antidumping duties on delivery of galvanized rolling from Kazakhstan totaling 36.9% and the Ukraine - amounting to 31.8%. As it was informed to KZ-today correspondent in committee on antidumping control of the Ministry of Economy of RK, limitation measures were caused by numerous complaints of Russian steel- producers on the fact that Kazakhstan and the Ukraine rolling is delivered with dumping prices. Limitation measures are introduced with 4-month term till the end of the investigation. At present Russia examines activity of only galvanized rolling producer in Kazakhstan - Ispat Karmet. The committee on antidumping control reminded that in May of this year at the level of the Heads of states-participants of EurAsEU the agreement on non-usage of protective measures to each other was signed. And this decision of RF contradicts intergovernmental document. Antidumping duties was set on goods, which are classified by 7210 49 900 0 code of Russia (rolling plain out of iron or non-alloy steel with width of 600 mm and more, galvanized by other methods, other). Ispat Karmet exports products to Russia on 48 codes. So the limitation measures of Russia will not strongly influence the position of Kazakhstan producer, assured in committee on antidumping control.
