On February 18, 2026, the Executive Management Committee of the Brazilian Foreign Trade Council (GECEX) issued Resolution No. 856 of 2026, issuing a final affirmative anti-dumping ruling on Galvanized and galvalume flat steel coils (Portuguese: laminados planos revestidos) originating from China. A five-year anti-dumping duty ranging from USD 284.98 to USD 709.63 per metric ton will be imposed on the involved Chinese products; detailed duty brackets are listed in the attached schedule.


This ruling covers goods under Mercosur tariff codes: 7210.30.10, 7210.30.90, 7210.49.10, 7210.49.90, 7210.61.00, 7210.69.11, 7210.69.19, 7210.69.90, 7212.20.10, 7212.20.90, 7212.30.00, 7225.91.00, 7225.92.00, 7225.99.90 and 7226.99.00. The resolution takes effect on its release date.


On February 2, 2026, the Executive Management Committee of the Brazilian Foreign Trade Council (GECEX) released Resolution No. 849 of 2026, delivering a final affirmative anti-dumping verdict on pre-painted steel sheets (Portuguese: aços pré-pintados) manufactured in China and India. Five-year anti-dumping tariffs will be levied on relevant products: USD 329.27 – USD 597.44 per ton for Chinese goods and USD 289.11 per ton for Indian goods, with full tariff details provided in the appendix.


Affected Mercosur tariff codes include 7210.70.10, 7210.70.20, 7212.40.10, 7212.40.21 and 7212.40.29. This resolution is effective immediately upon issuance.


I. Two Major Southeast Asian Coated Steel Bases Officially Launched for Mass Production

Recently, the full production lines for galvalume substrate and color coated steel coils at Sinor Steel’s two manufacturing bases in Vietnam and Cambodia have been completed and put into stable mass supply. Supported by complete local coated steel production qualifications and compliant certificate of origin documents issued in Southeast Asia, galvalume coils and pre-painted steel coils manufactured at our Vietnam and Cambodia factories are fully exempt from steep Brazilian anti-dumping tariffs targeting Chinese steel, completely resolving the cost pressure faced by Latin American buyers.


Trade barriers in the global steel industry have intensified in recent years. The Brazilian Foreign Trade Council has issued formal anti-dumping rulings mandating anti-dumping duties of USD 545 – 645 per metric ton on galvanized, galvalume and color coated steel coils originating from China for a term of five years. The hefty tariffs have severely squeezed profit margins for downstream clients engaged in construction, photovoltaic, steel structure and home appliance sectors, leading many traders and end-project developers to cut purchase volumes or suspend cooperation plans entirely.


To tackle trade barrier challenges in Latin America, Sinor Steel has pre-emptively built industrial chains across Southeast Asia and completed full commissioning of coated steel factories in Vietnam and Cambodia. Full localized production of coated steel overseas eliminates exposure to Brazil’s trade restrictions on Chinese-origin steel at the source.


II. Compliant Origin Qualifications: Zero Heavy Anti-dumping Tariffs for Brazil-bound Shipments

1. Full Localized Production with Valid Origin Certifications

Our Vietnam and Cambodia facilities feature integrated production lines covering pickling, hot-dip galvalume coating and color coating. All production procedures, including substrate processing, coating application, painting and finished slitting, are completed locally in Southeast Asia. We can issue fully compliant certificates of origin that meet Brazil customs’ origin verification standards. Products are certified as Vietnamese or Cambodian origin and therefore excluded from Brazil’s anti-dumping policies targeting Chinese steel.


2. Full Waiver of USD 545–645 Extra Tariffs Per Ton

Clients purchasing galvalume and pre-painted coils from our Southeast Asian factories for shipment to Brazil are exempt from the USD 545–645 per metric ton anti-dumping duty applied to Chinese steel coils. Every ton of steel delivers savings equivalent to thousands of RMB, drastically boosting clients’ price competitiveness in local markets.


3. Comprehensive Product Portfolio Coverage

Our Southeast Asian bases supply a full range of galvalume steel coils, PVDF/polyester color coated coils and specialized coated sheets for roofing applications. The products serve wide-ranging scenarios including factory steel structures, photovoltaic brackets, civil buildings, home appliance casings and warehousing & logistics parks. Production quality standards align fully with our domestic headquarters, with coating adhesion, corrosion resistance and color difference precision all complying with international export specifications.


III. Dual-base Production Capacity Ensures Stable Supply

Our two overseas factories operate simultaneously with complementary capacity. We can fulfill large long-term orders and urgent rush orders at the same time, enabling flexible switching between Vietnamese and Cambodian origin cargo to balance cost and lead time. Meanwhile, we retain our domestic manufacturing channels to serve clients in countries without restrictive trade policies, forming a more robust global supply chain layout.


IV. Sinor Steel’s Globalization Strategy: Break Trade Barriers and Achieve Win-win Cooperation with Partners

Against the backdrop of normalizing steel trade frictions worldwide, Sinor Steel adheres to a dual-cycle development strategy: consolidate product quality via domestic production bases while overcoming trade barriers through overseas manufacturing capacity. The launch of our Vietnam and Cambodia coated steel factories represents far more than capacity expansion – it delivers a low-cost, fully compliant steel procurement channel for all global partners:

  1. Circumvent anti-dumping and countervailing duty barriers imposed on Chinese steel by multiple countries;

  2. Flexible multi-origin supply to accommodate varying customs and trade policies of different nations.


V. Business Cooperation Inquiries

If you have procurement demands for galvalume coils or color coated steel coils for the Brazilian market, please contact Sinor Steel. We will provide origin-specific quotations for Vietnamese/Cambodian goods, full customs clearance origin documentation and end-to-end ocean logistics scheduling solutions. Supported by our comprehensive overseas industrial layout, Sinor Steel will continue delivering cost-effective, fully compliant steel export solutions to partners worldwide.
