The review, which was launched upon the application made by local producer InfraBuild, covered the period between October 1, 2023 and September 30, 2024. The commission has found that the expiration of the antidumping measures in respect of exports of rebar from South Korea and Spain would lead, or would be likely to lead, to a continuation of, or a recurrence of, the dumping and the material injury that the antidumping measures are intended to prevent.

Accordingly, the commission recommended that the duties continue and new duty rates for the parties subject to the review be revised as follows:

South Korea

1. Daehan Steel Co., Ltd
   • Current rate of duty : 4.7%
   • New rate of duty : 2.3%
2. Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd
   • Current rate of duty : Floor price
   • New rate of duty : 2.5%
3. Other exporters
   • Current rate of duty : 8.5%
   • New rate of duty : 12.0%

Spain

1. Compañía Española de Laminación, S.L. (CELSA)
   • Current rate of duty : 9.4%
   • New rate of duty : 12.4%
2. Other exporters except Nervacero S.A.
   • Current rate of duty : 11.8%
   • New rate of duty : 15.0%

The given products in various diameters up to and including 50 mm are currently classified under the following codes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule

• 7213.10.00.42,
• 7214.20.00.47,
• 7227.90.10.69,

• 7227.90.90.02,
• 7227.90.90.04,
• 7228.30.10.70,
• 7228.30.90.40,
• 7228.60.10.72

Accordingly, the CBSA stated that specific normal values for future shipments of certain rebar have been determined for all exporters, including Turkey-based Colakoglu Metalurji A.S., İçdas Çelik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim A.S., Kaptan Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S. ve Kroman Çelik Sanayii A.S., that submitted a complete response to the requests for information  effective May 4. For all other exporters of subject goods originating in or exported from China, South Korea and Turkey including Habas and Diler Holding), normal values will be determined by ministerial specification, which are calculated by advancing the export price of the goods by 41 percent.

Meanwhile, specific normal values for future shipments of certain rebar have been determined for Belarus-based OJSC Byelorussian Steel Works (BMZ), Taiwan-based Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation, Portugal-based Metalurgica Galaica, S.A. and Spain-based Celsa Atlantic, S.L. and Nervacero, S.A. effective May 4. For all other exporters of subject goods originating in or exported from Belarus, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Portugal and Spain, normal values will be determined by ministerial specification, which are calculated by advancing the export price of the goods by 108.5 percent.
In addition, the CBSA stated that nor any exporters/manufacturers in China provided a response to the subsidy requests for information, an amount of subsidy for all exporters of goods originating in or exported from China will be determined by ministerial specification and is equal to RMB 469/mt.

The products in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7213.10.00.00, 7214.20.00.00, 7215.90.00.90 and 7227.90.00.90.

The investigation into the alleged dumping of the goods from Greece, Indonesia (by exporters other than PT Ispat Panca Putera and PT Putra Baja Deli), Spain (by Nervacero S.A), Taiwan (by Power Steel Co. Ltd) and Thailand will continue.

Greece

Indonesia

• PT Ispat Panca Putera                                      : -2.2%
• PT Putra Baja Deli                                             : 0.4%
• Uncooperative and all other exporters          : 7.2%

The commission stated that it will require and take antidumping duties in respect of the goods exported from Greece, Indonesia (except for the goods exported by PT Ispat Panca Putera and PT Putra Baja Deli), Spain (exported by Nervacero S.A), Taiwan (exported by Power Steel Co. Ltd) and Thailand entered for home consumption on or after November 15. The commission will present its recommendations to the parliamentary secretary on or before December 29.

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

The application lodged by Australian steelmaker OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd claims that the goods have been exported to Australia at prices less than their normal value and that the dumping has caused material injury to the Australian industry through price depression, loss of sale volumes and market share, reduced revenue, loss of profit and reduced profitability.

The investigation will cover the period between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and the goods in question currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Number 7213.10.00, 7214.20.00, 7227.90.10, 7227.90.90, 7227.90.90, 7228.30.10, 7228.30.90 and 7228.60.10.

Accordingly, the CBSA calculated preliminary antidumping duties ranging from one percent to 109.2 percent for the six locations. Provisional duties are now payable on the subject goods that are released from customs on or after January 3, 2017.
