Zhang Longqiang, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Iron and Steel Association, stated that in the short term, the new policy may cause phased fluctuations in export volume due to enterprises scrambling for orders, but in the long run, it will effectively regulate the export order and guide the industry to focus on high-value-added products. For metallurgical equipment and materials export enterprises, the new policy not only raises compliance thresholds but also brings opportunities for quality endorsement. Taking slide gates and metallurgical copper tubes as examples, overseas customers have continuously raised the verification standards for product performance and quality, and compliance certification under the new policy can serve as a “pass” for such products to enter high-end overseas markets.

From the market feedback, leading domestic metallurgical enterprises have taken the lead in completing compliance layout. JISteel, with its rapid response to the new policy, has simultaneously strengthened R&D and quality control investment to further enhance the competitiveness of core products. Among them, JISteel’s high-end slide gates featuring crack resistance and long service life, as well as high-performance metallurgical copper tubes that can extend the service life of crystallizers by 3 to 5 times, have won more orders in core Middle Eastern and South Asian markets by virtue of excellent quality and compliance endorsement, becoming one of the benchmark cases for industry transformation under the new policy. Insiders pointed out that the new policy filters out low-value-added disorderly competition in the industry, helping high-quality enterprises like JISteel occupy a higher position in the global industrial chain and continuously enhance international influence.
