Australia's Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated a review regarding the antidumping (AD) duty on imports of hot rolled coil (HRC) exported to Australia from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan to examine whether the variable factors relevant to the taking of the antidumping measures as they affect exporters of the goods from the mentioned countries generally have changed. The antidumping duties were originally imposed on December 20, 2012.
The review launched upon the application lodged by Australian steelmaker BlueScope Steel Limited covers the period between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017 and covers all exporters of the goods exported to Australia from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The products subject to antidumping review currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7208.25.00.32, 7208.26.00.33, 7208.27.00.34, 7208.36.00.35, 7208.37.00.36, 7208.38.00.37, 7208.39.00.38, 7208.53.00.42, 7208.54.00.43, 7208.90.00.39, 7211.14.00.40 and 7211.19.00.41.
