South Africa's International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) has wrapped up its anti-dumping (AD) investigation into corrosion-resistant steel coils originating in China, with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) enacting final measures on September 18, 2026.
Launched after applications from ArcelorMittal South Africa and SAFAL Steel, the probe found that Chinese products entered the Southern African Customs Union market at dumped prices, causing material injury to domestic industries. These materials are mainly used by re-rollers and fabricators for corrugated roofing cladding.
Shandong Guanxian Foryune Composite Materials Co., Ltd. faces a final AD duty of 8.21%, structured at 0% for the first three years and 8.21% for the fourth and fifth years. All other Chinese producers and exporters face a 57.84% rate, applied progressively at 5.50% in the first year, 20.50% in the second year, 35.50% in the third year, and 57.84% for the fourth and fifth years.
To avoid double relief given existing safeguard measures, authorities created a mechanism that collects only the differential when AD duties exceed safeguard tariffs.
