The Eu Temporarily Does Not Levy A Temporary Countervailing Duty On Stainless Steel Hot-rolled Sheet From China

The EU decided on the 18th not to impose temporary countervailing duties on stainless steel hot-rolled sheet from China and Indonesia (tax rates ranging from 6% to 18.9%), and continued to conduct countervailing investigations.

This interim measure was originally scheduled to be implemented in early July of this year, but the EU is now directly planning to implement the final measure by early November.
