Taiwan: MoF imposes anti-dumping duties on Chinese beer, steel

MoF retroactively imposes anti-dumping duties on Chinese beer and steel from 3 July 2025.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced on 27 November 2025 that it will impose anti-dumping duties on beer and certain hot-rolled flat steel products imported from China. The duties, retroactive to 3 July 2025, will remain in effect for five years.

Hot-Rolled Flat Steel Anti-Dumping Duties

The Customs Administration stated that both anti-dumping cases had been temporarily subject to duties from 3 July 2025. Following final assessments by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the targeted exporters were confirmed to have engaged in dumping practices that caused material injury to domestic industries. Advisory opinions from the Ministry of Economic Affairs indicated no evidence that imposing anti-dumping measures would significantly harm the national economy.

The Customs Administration also noted that, in the beer case, certain importers knowingly or should have known about the injurious dumping and imported large quantities in a short period, potentially undermining the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duties. Accordingly, under Article 42, Paragraph 3 of the Implementing Regulations on Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties, duties will also apply to imports from 4 April to 2 July 2025 (90 days prior to the temporary duty imposition).

For importers who have already paid temporary anti-dumping duties exceeding the assessed rates, the Customs Administration will refund the difference in accordance with Article 41, Paragraph 2 of the Implementing Regulations.
