Scrap steel exports rise despite higher tariffs

China's scrap steel exports soared in 2017 as domestic demand was dampened, according to data from an industry association. The country exported 2.2 million metric tons of scrap steel last year, compared with about 1,000 tons in 2016, according to the China Iron and Steel Association. The surge came despite a 40-percent tariff on scrap steel exports as millions of tons of such steel were kept out of the domestic market due to a ban on the production of steel made from scrap metal. Most exports went to Southeast Asian nations such as Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The biggest sources of exports were eastern and southern coastal provinces including Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Hainan.
