Dominican Republic applies definite AD duty on Chinese rebar

Dominican Republic's commission of trade defense, CDC, announced on Friday that it has applied a definite, ad-valorem anti-dumping (AD) duty over the imports of Chinese rebar, both corrugated or deformed.

According to a CDC resolution, in addition to rebar, a 43 percent, ex-Chinese mill anti-dumping duty should also be paid for products currently falling under the country’s HS codes 7214.10.00, 7214.20.00, 7214.30.00 and 7214.99.00.

The duties are valid for a period of five years and should be effective on January 25, 2017.

CDC said it could review the existing duty while the duties are applied.
