This investigation was initiated based on a request submitted by the domestic industry, represented by CSC Steel Sdn. Bhd.

In addition, relevant manufacturers and exporters not named in the complaint (but who have exported products under investigation to Malaysia) wishing to participate in this case must register through the TRIMA system before February 21, 2025.

In case of technical difficulties when submitting responses to investigation questions, relevant parties can contact the Investigation Authority via email: firzanah.mystep@miti.gov.my and alltps@miti.gov.my with the subject: [TRIMA Technical Issue].
