On May 9, as a result of an anti-dumping investigation, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia determined to implement anti-dumping measures for flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600mm or more, clad, plated or coated with tin (electrolytic tinplate or tinplate) from Japan.

During the anti-dumping investigation, the Japanese steel industry claimed that exports of tinplate from Japan have caused no injury to the domestic steel industry in Malaysia.

We believe that it is inappropriate and very regrettable that the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia has rejected our statements and concluded that the domestic steel industry in Malaysia has been injured by imports of flat-rolled products coated with tin from Japan.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this decision and determine a proper course of action.
