The duties will be in place for five years.
The products under investigation are HFP iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods made of iron, non-alloy steel or alloy steel, originating in China, but excluding those made of stainless steel, high-speed steel and silico-manganese steel.

The EC set 9.2-13% preliminary anti-dumping duties on the material on January 29 this year.
The investigation was initiated on April 30, 2015, following the lodging of a complaint by European steel association Eurofer on March 17 that year.
