Australia’s Antidumping Commission has announced that it has initiated a review of the antidumping measures applying to certain reinforcing bars exported to Australia from South Korea and Taiwan (with the exception of Power Steel Co. Ltd). This review is limited to examining whether the variable factors, relevant to the taking of the antidumping measures, should be varied.

The review launched upon the applications lodged by Australia-based DITH Australia Pty Ltd and Liberty OneSteel (Newcastle) Pty Ltd covers the period between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

The antidumping duties were originally imposed on November 19, 2015 and range between three percent and 14.3 percent.

The products subject to antidumping review currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7213.10.00, 7214.20.00, 7227.90.10, 7227.90.90, 7228.30.10, 7228.30.90 and 7228.60.10.
