Indonesia reviews HRC anti-dumping duties

The Anti Dumping Committee of Indonesia this week launched a sunset review investigation on hot rolled coils imported from China, India, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Taiwan and Thailand, Kallanish notes. This is in response to the application of domestic manufacturer PT Krakatau Steel.

The classified products are targeted under the following HS Codes: 7208.10.00, 7208.25.00, 7208.26.00, 7208.27.11, 7208.27.19, 7208.27.91, 7208.27.99, 7208.36.00, 7208.37.00, 7208.38.00, 7208.39.10, 7208.39.90, 7208.90.10, 7208.90.20 and 7208.90.90.

The committee made an affirmative final ruling for the first time in 2008, and included Russia and Belarus in the scope of anti-dumping duties after the first sunset review in 2013. In 2019, the AD duties were extended again with rates up to 20% (see Kallanish 25 March 2019).

In 2022, Indonesia imported 1.06 million tonnes of these products from other countries, up less than 1% on-year. However, only 8.8% of it was provided by the above countries excluding Russia and Belarus which provided zero, compared with 5.2% in 2021.
