TOKYO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Japan has launched an anti-dumping investigation into hot-dip galvanized steel used in construction from China and South Korea, the government said on Wednesday.
The probe follows an April 28 petition filed by Nippon Steel 5401.T, Kobe Steel 5406.T and two other domestic makers claiming that weaker domestic demand and a shift to cheaper imports have forced them to cut prices.
