ITAC has made a preliminary determination in the investigation into the alleged dumping of tubes and pipes imported from the Republic of Mozambique. The investigation was initiated following an application by Hall Longmore Holdings Proprietary (Pty) Ltd. The subject product is commonly used for medium and low-pressure pipelines, such as water and gas pipelines, and in structural applications.

The Commission considered that the Applicant submitted prima facie information indicating that the subject product was being imported at dumped prices and causing material injury and a threat of material injury to the SACU industry.

After reviewing the evidence, the Commission made a preliminary finding that the subject product originating in or imported from Mozambique is being dumped onto the SACU market causing material injury and a threat of material injury to the SACU industry.

As a result, the Commission has requested the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”) to impose provisional duties of 28,86% on imports of the subject product for a period of 6 months. These provisional measures were implemented by SARS on 19 June 2026. ITAC is now inviting public comments on its preliminary findings. Interested parties can submit written comments within 14 days of the release of the preliminary report.
