The Australian Trade Remedies Commission (ATRC) extended its dumping investigation timeline for steel flat bar imports from Taiwan, postponing the final decision to July 2027.
Initiated in July 2026 after an application by domestic producer InfraBuild NSW Pty Ltd, the inquiry originally targeted a preliminary determination by early November 2026 and a final report by December 2026.
According to notifications received by Taiwan's representative office in Australia, Taiwanese steelmakers T S STEEL and Feng Hsin Steel submitted questionnaire responses. The commission continues evaluating evidence to assess dumping facts before issuing a Statement of Essential Facts (SEF).
The revised schedule sets SEF completion for May 7, 2027, with the final report due to the minister by July 6, 2027, allowing Taiwanese mills additional months to accept Australian orders.
