Kotahi wiki noa iho i muri i te whakaputanga o ngā herenga hou a te EU i te 1 o Oketopa, kua pau kē ngā herenga a ngā whenua e toru mō ētahi momo rino me te 50 ōrau o ētahi momo rino, e toru marama te roa tae noa ki te 31 o Tīhema. Kua pau kē te herenga kawemai rebar (90,856 tāne) i te 1 o Oketopa, te rā tuatahi o te herenga hou, ā, ko ētahi atu kāwai pērā i ngā paipa hau, te rino tuwhera me ngā koiri matao kowiri tira kua pau te nuinga o tā rātou herenga (tata ki te 60-90%).

I te 6 o Oketopa, i whakatinanahia e te EU tana rauna tuawaru o ngā whiu ki a Rūhia, e aukati ana i ngā kaweake o ngā rauemi haurua-oti i hangaia e Rūhia, tae atu ki ngā pereti me ngā pereki, ā, e aukati ana i te whakamahinga o ngā rauemi haurua-oti o Rūhia i kawemai i mua. Neke atu i te 80% o ngā hua rino haurua-oti a te EU e ahu mai ana i Rūhia me Ukraine, e tāpiri ana ki te rohenga iti o ngā momo rino matua i runga ake nei, tera pea ka piki ake te utu rino o Ūropi a muri ake nei, nā te mea kāore pea e taea e te mākete te whakatutuki i te rā kati (te wā whakawhiti pereti a te EU ki te 1 o Oketopa, 2024). Te whakawhiti pereki ki Paenga-whāwhā 2024) hei whakakī i te āputa i roto i te rahinga rino o Rūhia.

E ai ki a Mysteel, ko NLMK anake te rōpū maitai o Ruhia e tuku tonu ana i ngā pereti ki te EU i raro i ngā whiu a te EU, ā, ko te nuinga o āna pereti ka tukuna ki āna apiti i Belgium, i France me ētahi atu wāhi o Ūropi. I mua ake nei, i kī a Severstal, he rōpū maitai nui o Ruhia, ka mutu tana tuku hua maitai ki te EU, nō reira kāore he pānga o ngā whiu ki te kamupene. Kāore a EVRAZ, he kaihokohoko pire nui o Ruhia, e hoko ana i tētahi hua maitai ki te EU i tēnei wā.
