Mining News -According to Malaysian customs statistics, Taiwan was Malaysia`s largest source of imports. In 2015 and 2016, Malaysia imported about US$47.76 million of products (accounting for 41.15% of the total imported stainless steel in Malaysia) and US$28.63 million (39.35%).

In Malaysia, the major sources of imports were from Japan (24.15%), Finland (14.57%) and Germany (9.34%), except for Taiwan.

According to the market participants, the range of the goods involved in this case was very wide. The previous adjudication of levying high provisional anti-dumping duties amounting to 13.77~52.17% caused a considerable impact on Taiwan’s exports.

If the final adjudication confirmed the anti-dumping duty of 0% to 14.02% on Taiwan, it remained to be seen whether the negative impact on Taiwan`s continued operation of the Malaysian market will be slightly reduced.
