Chile's biggest steel plant has resumed activities after the
government imposed a temporary tariff on Chinese imports.
The Huachipato plant, which
provides 2,700 direct jobs and some 20,000 indirect ones, announced a month ago
it was winding down, unable to compete with Chinese steel that sells for about
40 percent cheaper in the South American country.
The company had asked Chile's
CNDP anti-price distortion commission to recommend the government impose a 25
percent tariff on imported steel.
