According
to EUROFER, ''''the Chinese government promotes exports of alloyed steels with
tax rebates of 9% to 13% on the general export tax of 17%. To get the most
tax-beneficial classification as alloyed steels, Chinese steel producers add
cheap alloy boron agent to steels specified by the customer as non-alloy
qualities. Although the boron quantities are up to twice as high as
permitted, Chinese steels are marketed in the EU as unalloyed steels.''''
EUROFER
claims that boron in steel improves the uniformity of the hardness of the
steel. But if weldability and elasticity are required, typically for
unalloyed steel, a higher share of boron can be harmful.
With
Chinese steel exports to Europe estimated to reach 85Mt this year – a
year-on-year rise of 43% – it is thought that Chinese steel products in which
boron has been added represents over 50% of the total.
“Not
only does China promote exports of its excess steel production by targeted
product tax advantages, but Chinese steel qualities also confuse the markets
as Chinese producers exploit the export tax regime," claims Eggert.
"The EU market surveillance authorities are now required to eliminate
the risk of misleading use of the CE mark," he said, adding that steel
producers must be protected from exposure to wrongfully declared qualities
and the risk of serious economic disadvantages.
