The duties on imports of galvanised iron coils or sheets or galvanised steel coils or sheets were imposed based on a preliminary determination made in an anti-dumping duty investigation initiated on February 6, the investment, trade and industry ministry said in a statement.
"The government finds that there is sufficient evidence that the importation of the subject goods... is being dumped and that the investigation should be continued," it said.
The provisional duties be in effect from Monday for up to 120 days with a final determination to be made by November 3, the ministry said.
