Australia’s Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated an antidumping (AD) duty investigation against rebar imports from China.

The duty investigation launched by following an application lodged by domestic producer OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd covers the period between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015. The application alleges that Chinese rebar has been exported to Australia at prices less than their normal value and that the dumping has caused material injury to the Australian industry.

The goods subject to antidumping duty currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7214.20.00, 7228.30.90, 7213.10.00, 7227.90.10 and 7227.90.90.
