21 Mar 2025

On 19 March 2025, ITAC published a notice in the Government Gazette (notice no. 3061 of 2025) informing stakeholders of its intention to initiate the process of reviewing the steel tariff structure.

This also include an investigation into the possible introduction of an import surveillance system for steel products.

In the notice, ITAC is also requesting interested parties to submit their comments.The publication notice included links to Tables A and B. However, the Commission has since discovered that, the final published version of the notice did not allow interested parties to access the tables.

In order to remedy this, the Commission has since created a link to both tables on the ITAC website. Interest parties are requested to follow the link below to access the notice and the tables:
