Puyat Steel seeks safeguard duties vs. China GI sheets

A local producer of galvanized iron and pre-painted iron sheets and coils called on the Philippine government to put safeguards against the importation of similar but substandard products from China which are said to be causing “serious injury” to the domestic industry.

Enrique Chuidian, general manager of Puyat Steel Corp., said that the local steel roofing industry has been the dumping ground for substandard and subsidized imports from China.
