In a proactive move to support domestic industry and reinforce the resilience of its supply chain, Saudi Arabia has officially imposed final anti-dumping duties on certain imported stainless steel pipes from key East Asian countries. The policy, effective from June 30, 2025, will be in place for five years and aims to maintain fair competition within the local market.
These stainless steel pipes, commonly used in infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects, are essential components in supply chain operations. By regulating their import pricing through anti-dumping duties ranging from 6.5% to 27.3%, Saudi Arabia is safeguarding its local manufacturers and stabilizing sourcing reliability for key construction and logistics sectors.
The decision follows a detailed investigation initiated in May 2024 after concerns were raised about the impact of underpriced imports on domestic production. With the application of these duties, the Kingdom is taking significant steps to reduce reliance on vulnerable foreign sourcing, promote industrial self-sufficiency, and enhance the long-term competitiveness of its supply base.
This development also encourages sustainable industrial practices and supports the Kingdom’s wider economic diversification strategy by ensuring critical components remain consistently available through a more balanced and secure trade system.
