巴西政府完成对中国冷轧钢的反倾销调查，认定中国进口钢材以不公平低价销售，损害本国生产商利益。调查导致征收高达每吨670美元的反倾销税。Usiminas作为巴西最大钢企之一，于2024年4月发起请愿。
巴西的反倾销调查始于2024年4月，当时Usiminas提交请愿书，指称中国出口商以低于公平价值的价格销售冷轧钢产品。该公司是巴西最大的钢铁生产商之一。
调查人员审查了出口价格、成本数据和市场份额信息后，得出结论，认为有足够证据证明存在倾销行为，并对本国产业造成损害。正式调查于2024年8月启动，中国生产商和中国政府接到通知，并被要求回答详细问卷。
根据调查结果，巴西政府决定对中国冷轧钢征收高达每吨670美元的反倾销税，以保护国内钢铁行业免受不公平竞争的影响。这一决定反映了巴西对进口钢材倾销的担忧。
