Australia’s Antidumping Commission has announced that it has terminated the investigation concerning possible circumvention of the antidumping (AD) measures imposed by the commission on imports of rebar exported to Australia by Daehan Steel Co Ltd (Daehan) from South Korea.
As a result of the investigation, the commission has decided that no circumvention activity in relation to the mentioned imports from Daehan has occurred.
The investigation was initiated on November 2017 upon the application lodged by Australian steelmaker OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd, claiming that circumvention activity in the form of avoidance of the intended effect of duty occurred.
Antidumping measures, initially imposed on the goods on November 19, 2015, stand at 9.7 percent for Daehan and 14.3 percent for all other exporters from South Korea.
The goods in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Number 7214.20.00, 7228.30.90, 7213.10.00, 7227.90.10, 7227.90.90, 7228.30.10 and 7228.60.10.
