ArcelorMittal South Africa made an application to ITAC, alleging that certain flat-rolled products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel were being imported into SACU at dumped prices. The company is the major producer of the subject product in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). Columbus Stainless Steel (Pty) Ltd supported the application.
Certain flat-rolled products are used for manufacturing of general engineering products such as containers, mining equipment, drawing and forming applications like wheel rims, small and large bore pipes, the subject product is also used in transportation, construction, machinery industries.
After considering comments and responses from interested parties, The Commission made a final determination that there was sufficient information to indicate that dumping of certain flat-rolled products is indeed taking place, and that the SACU industry was experiencing material injury because of the dumped imports from People’s Republic of China (PRC), Japan and Taiwan.
Consequently, the Commission has requested the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to impose definitive anti-dumping duties on imports from PRC, Japan and Taiwan classifiable under tariff subheadings 7208.10, 7208.25, 7208.26, 7208.27, 7208.36, 7208.37, 7208.38, 7208.39, 7208.51, 7208.52, 7225.30 and 7225.40. These definitive anti-dumping duties were implemented by SARS on 19 March 2026. Please refer to Report 767 for full details of the report.
