304 and 316 stainless steel sheet are popular austenitic grades.The main difference is molybdenum content.

304 has no molybdenum, but 316 has 2% to 3%.This makes 316 better in chloride settings, like salt and chlorine.It works well for marine, food processing, and chemical uses.304 is a versatile, general-purpose option for milder conditions usually costs more due to molybdenum and higher nickel. Both offer excellent corrosion resistance, but 316’s added molybdenum provides enhanced protection against pitting and crevice corrosion. 

Thailand has launched a sunset review of anti-dumping (AD) duties on cold-rolled stainless steel sheet , coils, and strips from Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. The existing five-year duties will expire on February 17, 2026. However, the Committee on Dumping and Subsidies determined that removing these AD duties would lead to continued or recurring dumping practices and injury to the domestic industry.

The current AD duty rate for Japan is 0% to 50.92% of the CIF value, for Taiwan is 0% to 33.99%, and South Korean firms are facing a 50.99% duty.

From February 18, 2026, to February 17, 2027, importers must provide security deposits equal to the AD duty amounts until the review is conducted.

The products involved are under HS codes 7219.32.00.030, 7219.32.00.040, 7219.33.00.030, 7219.33.00.040, 7219.34.00.030, 7219.34.00.040, 7219.35.00.030, 7219.35.00.040, 7220.20.10.030, 7220.20.10.040, 7220.20.90.030, and 7220.20.90.040.
