📋 GI, PPGI & GL Buyers: Japan 42% Tariff, Korea 33% – CNB Group Has Your Alternative Supply Ready

If you buy galvanized steel (GI), pre-painted steel (PPGI), or galvalume (GL), you need to read this.

Japan just added 42.1% tariffs on Chinese stainless steel. Korea added 22.34%–33.67% on galvanized cold-rolled steel. Thailand expanded its wire rod duties to 15.04%–36.79%. Australia imposed 9.4%–51.2% on flat-rolled steel.

These tariffs make your usual supply chain too expensive. But CNB Group has alternatives that can keep your projects on track.

PPGI (Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron) – The go-to solution for roofing, wall cladding, and appliances. PPGI combines the strength of galvanized steel with a pre-applied color coating that saves you time and money on painting. Available in multiple RAL colors with polyester, silicon-modified polyester (SMP), or PVDF coatings.

GI (Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel) – The industry standard for corrosion resistance. Used in construction, automotive, and infrastructure. Zinc coating from Z40 to Z275 available.

GL (Galvalume) – 55% aluminum-zinc alloy coating. Outperforms GI in corrosion resistance by 2–6 times in coastal and industrial environments.

ZAM (Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium) – The next generation of coated steel. Superior cut-edge corrosion resistance and self-healing properties.

Aluminized Steel – Excellent heat resistance up to 550°C. Perfect for exhaust systems, ovens, and high-temperature applications.
