Itac finds Chinese steel dumping but no provisional duties yet

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) has made a preliminary finding that certain steel products imported from China are being dumped and are causing material injury to the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) steel industry.

However, Itac has decided not to impose provisional antidumping duties at this stage, citing temporary safeguard duties introduced in June that may have mitigated the impact of the imports.

The products under scrutiny are thin, flat-rolled steel sheets, less than 0.45 mm thick, coated with aluminium-zinc or zinc, commonly used in construction, roofing and manufacturing.

The investigation was prompted by an application from ArcelorMittal South Africa and Safal Steel, which argued that the imports were undercutting local prices, threatening jobs and harming production in the Sacu steel industry.

Itac is now inviting public comment on its preliminary findings, allowing interested parties 14 days from the release of the report to submit written feedback. The outcome of this consultation will help determine whether further anti-dumping measures are necessary, the commission said on October 21.
