EU extends tariffs on Chinese stainless steel screws to Philippines
The European Union extended to the Philippines a tariff on

Fasteners Corp were excusive from this extension. The EU trade
protection policy posed 27.4% levy against Chinese imports, helping
European fasten producer including Bulnava Srl of Italy, Germany’s
Reisser Schraubentechnik GmbH and France’s Ugivis SA, more space facing
below-cost competition from Asian country. Meanwhile, the EU also
reimposed 5 year anti-dumping duties of 23.6% on stainless steel
fasteners from Taiwan.
