Australia's Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated an accelerated review of the antidumping (AD) measures applying to certain hot rolled (HR) structural steel sections exported to Australia from Taiwan, in so far as they relate to a new exporter, Taiwan-based Dragon Steel Corporation (DSC). On June 9, DSC lodged an application for an accelerated review of the dumping duty notice in relation to its exports of the goods in question exported to Australia from Taiwan.
The initial review concerned the antidumping (AD) order on certain hot rolled (HR) structural steel section imports from Taiwan and Thailand and it was limited to examining whether the variable factors relevant to the taking of antidumping measures as they affect Taiwan-based Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation and Thailand-based Siam Yamato Steel Co., Ltd have changed. The antidumping duty was originally imposed in November 20, 2014.
The commission will present its recommendations to the parliamentary secretary on or before September 17.
The products subject to accelerated review currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7216.31.00, 7216.32.00, 7216.33.00, 7216.40.00 and 7228.70.00.
