Türkiye is one of Europe's closest large steel producers, and consistently among the biggest suppliers of hot-rolled coil to the EU. Short shipping distances and quick lead times make Turkish steel a natural swing source for European mills and service centres.
The panel below pulls the latest official figures from Eurostat: how many tonnes of hot-rolled steel the EU imported from Türkiye in the most recent reported month, the total value, the implied customs unit value in euros per tonne (a declared trade average, not a spot index), the year-on-year change, and Türkiye's share of all the steel the EU imports from outside the bloc.
Why the safeguard matters here
As a large, nearby supplier, Türkiye's access to the EU is shaped less by the base tariff (largely 0%) than by the EU steel safeguard. Turkish hot-rolled coil enters duty-free within Türkiye's tariff-rate quota, but once that quota fills, further tonnes pay the out-of-quota duty — raised to 50% from 1 July 2026, alongside a new melt-and-pour origin rule. Steel is also a CBAM good, and specific Turkish products have at times faced EU anti-dumping duties. Watching the quota fill-rate is therefore as important as watching the price. Confirm the current quota status and any measure in the EU's official TARIC database.

Yes — one of the largest, helped by proximity. The live figures above show its latest tonnes, value and share.
What rules apply to Turkish steel?
The steel safeguard quota (0% within quota, up to 50% above from July 2026), CBAM, and any anti-dumping measure. Confirm in TARIC.
How fresh is the data?
Eurostat publishes monthly trade with roughly a two-month lag; this page always shows the latest available month.
