Japan, South Korea officials flag hurdles in steel product shipments into Indian market

NEW DELHI: (Mar 3) Japan and South Korean officials on Monday raised concerns about Indian regulations, saying they are facing hurdles in shipping steel products into the domestic market.

Speaking at an event organised by the Ministry of Steel, the government representatives sought Indian government intervention on measures such as quality control orders (QCOs), safeguard duties, and other import restrictions.

Speaking with journalists later, the representatives said there is no country-specific bias and shipments with inadequate documentation are being deterred.
