Thailand's Committee on Dumping and Subsidies has announced the expansion of antidumping measures on certain high-carbon alloy steel wire originating from China, following a determination that imports of slightly modified products were being used to circumvent the existing duties.
According to the official statement, the extended measures now cover certain hot-rolled alloy steel wire whose technical characteristics remain substantially similar to the product already subject to antidumping duties. The applicable duty rates range from 15.04% to 36.79% of the CIF value.
Thai authorities determined that the products examined in the circumvention investigation had undergone only minor modifications relative to the goods covered by the original antidumping order. These changes were not deemed significant enough to alter the essential characteristics, end-uses, or commercial nature of the product. Nevertheless, the modified products had been imported under descriptions or customs classifications that enabled them to avoid the existing antidumping duties. Consequently, Thailand has decided to extend the original measures to cover the products found to be circumventing the duties.
The subject products fall under the following customs codes: 7227.90.10.042, 7227.90.10.049, 7227.90.10.090, 7227.90.90.040, 7227.90.90.041, 7227.90.90.043, 7227.90.90.044, 7227.90.90.045, 7227.90.90.046, 7227.90.90.049, and 7227.90.90.090.
