The Australian Anti-Dumping Commission released Notice No. 2026/042 on April 2, updating security deposits for Chinese hot rolled coil steel imports.
Following the termination of countervailing investigations into four major exporters, including Baoshan Iron & Steel, Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron & Steel, Shanghai Meishan Iron & Steel, and Hunan Valin Lianyuan Iron & Steel, authorities will not collect provisional countervailing duties (CVD) from these firms. Instead, these exporters face provisional anti-dumping (AD) duties ranging from 36.0% to 104.1%. All other Chinese exporters are subject to a combined AD and CVD rate of 116.9%.
This case originated in November 2024 upon a request by BlueScope Steel, leading to an affirmative preliminary determination in December 2025.
The subject goods are under HS codes 7208.10.00.31, 7208.25.00.32, 7208.26.00.33, 7208.27.00.34, 7208.36.00.35, 7208.37.00.36, 7208.38.00.37, 7208.39.00.38, 7208.40.00.39, 7208.53.00.42, 7208.54.00.43, 7208.90.00.30, 7211.14.00.40, 7211.19.00.41, 7225.30.00.17, 7225.40.00.22, 7225.40.00.24, and 7226.91.00.67.
