Dominican Republic’s commission of trade defense, CDC, said it will keep a 14 percent ad-valorem definite anti-dumping (AD) duty over the imports of steel rods and bars for concrete reinforcement from Turkey, ex-mill, in addition to an existing 20 percent most-favored-nation (MFN) tariff already applied to the country.
The duties apply not only to Turkish producers ICDAS, Kaptan, but also for all the country’s exporting companies. The products subject to the tariffs currently fall under the following Dominican Republic’s HTS codes: 7213.20.90, 7214.10.00 and 7214.20.00.
CDC said the duties are valid for a period of five years, which will be counted from June 14, 2016 to June 14, 2021.
