According to SteelOrbis, as there is no free trade agreement between Turkey and China, China has imposed the MFN (most favored nation) rate on some products, including pig iron and billets from Turkey. The State Council Tariff Commission of China announced that these rates became effective as of January 1, 2025. Certain ex-Turkey products exported to China will be subject to temporary reduced import customs duty rates lower than the MFN rate for 2025.
