Some issues for pipe foreign trade

With the increase of international trade, our products are facing more and more export problems. However, due to the differences between our national and international production requirements and standards, we have more problems in export. For this point, in the steel tube market, the most obvious is hot dipped galvanized steel pipe. So why does this happen? How to avoid the problem in foreign trade? Today, we can talk about this topic.

The first problem is the specifications of hot-dip galvanized steel pipes. According to our country standards, for the specification division of galvanized steel pipe, it is basically a divide according to the galvanization manner. That is the issue between hot dipped galvanized steel pipe and cold galvanized steel pipe. This classification standards affect our steel pipe market deeply. But in practice, the international standard is to divide the steel pipe into shape that is square steel pipe and round steel pipe. That means the classification standard between our country and international standard is different, which will lead to some problems in foreign trade.

Apart from the specification, it is the factor of steel pipe price. The price of hot dipped galvanized steel pipe are generally more expensive compared with international steel pipe. In some cases, this may cause dumping due to the relatively low cost of production price and there will be some legal problems influenced by trade barriers of other countries. By the way, the price of square steel pipe is higher than that of round steel pipe because this kind of pipe compared with round steel pipe is a kind of special form so the price is more expensive. At the same time, the environmental protection requirement has a significant impact on the price of galvanized steel pipe because of environmental cost produced by steel pipe.

Finally, the problem in the foreign trade of hot-galvanizing steel tube is environmental protection. The environmental protection requirements for galvanized steel pipes are very strict not only the zinc content but also the environmental cost. Steel pipes in our country are fail to meet environmental standards in many aspects. Therefore, it forms a certain trade barriers which depends on the efforts by steel pipe manufacturers. Quality and affordable products can make a breakthrough in the international steel pipe market otherwise export trade will be more difficult in the near future.
