Ukraine has been affected by European Union tariffs introduced to address cheap imports from China, according to the head of one of the country’s biggest steel companies.
The steel executive said Ukraine had been “bundled together” with China under the measures. The comments indicate that Ukrainian steel producers are facing the consequences of trade action directed at imports from China, despite Ukraine being the country identified as affected by the tariffs.
The available information does not specify the products covered, the level of the tariffs, or the financial impact on the company or the wider Ukrainian steel industry. It also does not include a response from the European Union or details of any proposed changes to the measures.
The latest position is that Ukraine’s steel sector is seeking attention to the effect of the tariffs, which were aimed at curbing cheap imports from China.
