Australia’s Commissioner of the Anti-dumping Commission has completed an inquiry at the request of InfraBuild (Newcastle) Pty Ltd, initiated on 28 March 2022, into whether the continuation of the AD duties applying to rebar exported to the country is justified.
The AD duties on rebar originating or imported from Greece, Spain, Indonesia and Taiwan are set to continue. Duties applying to Thai goods however, will cease after 7 March this year, Kallanish notes.
Products involved are classified under HS codes 7213.10.00.42, 7214.20.00.47, 7227.90.10.69, 7227.90.90.01, 7227.90.90.02, 7227.90.90.04, 7227.90.90.42, 7228.30.10.70, 7228.30.90.40 and 7228.60.10.72.
Australia commenced the AD investigation at the request of domestic manufacturer OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd in 2017, and announced the above AD duties on 7 March 2018.
In 2022, Australia imported 550 tonnes of the products from Indonesia and 173t from Spain, compared with the total volume of 291,191t. Imports from other affected regions in the year were zero in both 2021 and 2022, as were Indonesia’s shipments in 2021.
