On June 20, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia determined to continue the anti-dumping measures on cold rolled coils of alloy or non-alloy steel of a width more than 1,300mm imported from Japan as a result of the sunset review.

During the sunset review proceedings, the Japanese steel industry stated that exports of cold rolled coils from Japan are exclusively for automotive end usage, which falls within the category of product expressly excluded from the scope of the subject merchandise under the sunset review.

Although certain products for automotive end usage have been excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping measures, we believe that it is inappropriate and regrettable that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Malaysia has concluded that the domestic industry in Malaysia has been injured by imports of the cold rolled coils from Japan.

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