EU extends steel pipe tariffs for Belarus, China and Russia
The European Union has extended tariffs on imports of iron and steel welded tubes and pipes from Belarus, China and Russia for five years, saying they are sold at unfairly low prices.

Chinese producers including Zhejiang Kingland 002443.SZ face the highest rate of 90.6%. The rate for manufacturers in Belarus is 38.1%, while Russia’s OMK Group and TMK Group TRMK.MM pay 10.1% and 16.8% respectively. Other Russian companies, such as PAO Severstal CHMF.MM, face tariffs of 20.5%.
