Increased Duties on Specific Products: As of December 31, 2024, Turkey increased import duties on some hot-rolled coil (HRC) and cold-rolled coil (CRC) grades, particularly for alloyed and stainless steel items. Previously duty-free alloyed and stainless steel items now face tariffs.
Duty Rates for Non-Alloyed Products: Commodity-grade non-alloyed steel duties remain unchanged at 13-15% for 2025. The duty on non-alloyed cold-rolled products is stable at 17%1.
Galvanized and Pre-Painted Galvanized (PPGI) Products: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) imports and PPGI products continue to face a 20% import duty. Some alloyed grades now have a duty of 20%, up from 15% previously.
New Duty Rates for PPGI Products: As of January 1, 2025, new import duties were introduced for certain PPGI products under updated customs codes. Products with specific thicknesses will be subject to duties ranging from 15% to 20%5.
Anti-Dumping Duties: Turkey has also imposed anti-dumping duties on hot-rolled steel imports from China, India, Japan, and Russia, with rates ranging from 6.10% to 43.31% of the CIF value9. This move aims to protect Turkish producers from dumped imports.
