Baosteel Stainless (BSSCO) →Prices riseCold-Rolled Stainless Steel Flat Products
Japan’s anti-dumping duty on Taiwan-origin stainless steel raises the landed cost of this supplied flat-product line, and the edge’s 10% share, only moderate substitutability, and six-month replacement lead time make the impact material but not overwhelming.
