Australia's Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated an antidumping (AD) duty investigation regarding imports of certain hollow structural sections from India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The application lodged by Australian hollow structural sections manufacturer Austube Mills Pty. Ltd claims that the goods have been exported to
Australia at prices less than their normal value and that the dumping has caused material injury to the Australian industry through loss of sale volume, reduced market share, price depression, reduced profits and reduced production and capacity utilization.
The antidumping investigation will cover the period between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
The products subject to duty investigation currently fall under the Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7306.30.00, 7306.50.00, 7306.61.00, 7306.69.00, and 7306.90.00.
