Trade Remedy Digest — 2026-10-28

Summary

Two new anti-dumping investigations were initiated: Colombia opened a case on Chinese and Turkish L- and U-shaped steel profiles, and Pakistan opened a case on Chinese cotton yarn of 48 counts and above. Both are at the initiation stage with no measures yet imposed, so procurement exposure is currently limited to potential future duties and supply-route uncertainty.
