Australia’s Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated an anti-circumvention inquiry in relation to rebar exported to Australia by Daehan Steel Co Ltd (Daehan) from South Korea.
The application lodged by Australian steelmaker OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd claims that circumvention activity in the form of avoidance of the intended effect of duty has occurred.
Antidumping measures, initially imposed on the goods by public notice on November 19, 2015, stand at 9.7 percent for Daehan and 14.3 percent for all other exporters from South Korea.
The investigation will cover the period between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017.
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.
