South Africa’s International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) concluded 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.
Initiated following applications from ArcelorMittal South Africa and SAFAL Steel, the inquiry determined that Chinese products entered the Southern African Customs Union market at dumped prices, causing material injury to the domestic industries. These materials are primarily utilized 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 are subject to a 57.84% rate, implemented 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 prevent double relief given existing safeguard measures, authorities established a mechanism collecting only the differential when AD duties exceed safeguard tariffs.
