South Korea imposed provisional antidumping duties ranging from 28.16% to 33.57% on hot-rolled steel products imported from China and Japan for four months, the Ministry of Economy and Finance said Sept. 8.

The decision comes after the Korea Trade Commission recommended duties on July 24. The duties will be effective for four months, from September 2025 to January 2026.
