Pakistan’s National Tariff Commission has announced that it has initiated an antidumping duty investigation on imports of deformed concrete reinforcing steel bars from China. The investigation was initiated upon a complaint by local producers Amreli Steels Limited, Agha Steel Industries Ltd. and Abbas Engineering Industries, alleging that the products under investigation are being exported to Pakistan at dumped prices from China and have caused and are threatening to cause material injury to the domestic industry.

The investigation covers the period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.
