Australia's anti-dumping commission has terminated part of its investigation on hot-rolled deformed steel reinforcing bar in lengths from Indonesia's Pt Ispat Panca Putera and Pt Putra Baja Deli, Malaysia's Southern Steel and Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel Joint Stock Company from Vietnam.
The commission has found that exports of involved products to Australia by these exporters were either not dumped or the dumping margins were found to be negligible of less than 2%, according to the termination report, Kallanish notes.
Involved hot-rolled deformed steel reinforcing bar, commonly identified as rebar or debar, in various diameters up to and including 50 millimetres fall under HS codes 7214.20.00.47, 7228.30.10.70, 7228.30.90.40 and 7228.60.10.72. But hot-rolled deformed reinforcing steel in coil form, plain round bar, stainless steel and reinforcing mesh are excluded from involved products.
Australia initiated an investigation into the alleged dumping of involved products from the aforementioned exporters as well as from Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam on 24 September 2024 in response to application from InfraBuild.
The remaining aspects of the investigation that have not been terminated were outlined in the report, which was published on 16 December.
Existing anti-dumping duties on involved products imposed by Australia are on China, Indonesia, Greece, Korea, Spain and Taiwan's Power steel, with rates of 19%, 9.3%, 42.1%, 2.3-12%, 6.3-15% and 4.4% respectively.
