clearance and fund security.
Anti-dumping measures,as one of the important tools for maintaining fair competition in domestic markets,are frequently adopted by governments around the world.On April 20,2024,the Chilean Ministry of Finance announced in an official gazette that it would make significant adjustments to the provisional anti-dumping duty rate on steel rods originating from China used in the production of grinding balls with a diameter of less than 4 inches.According to the latest announcement,the provisional anti-dumping duty rate for such steel rods has been raised from the previous range of 10.3% to 19.8% to a unified rate of 24.9%.This measure will take effect from March 27,2024 and will be valid for six months,ending on the date of the release of the final measures.The products involved are mainly classified under Chilean tariff code 7228.3000.
The tariff adjustment was based on an anti-dumping investigation initiated by Chile on December 9,2023.The preliminary findings of the investigation were announced on March 27,2024,at which time temporary anti-dumping tariff rates were differentiated for different enterprises.Among them,Baowu JFE Special Steel Co.Ltd.was determined to have a tariff rate of 10.4%,Daye Special Steel Co.Ltd.had a tariff rate of 10.3%,and Dongbei Special Steel Group Co.Ltd.and other Chinese enterprises involved in the case had a tariff rate of 19.8%.
Under international trade law,the legality of anti-dumping measures requires strict investigation and evidentiary requirements,including proof of dumping practices and demonstration that such practices have caused or threaten to cause material injury to domestic industries.
Chiles Ministry of Finance will continue to monitor market conditions and complete the final determination before the six-month provisional measure period ends.This will include deciding whether to continue implementing anti-dumping duties and determining the final duty rates.During this period,the involved Chinese companies and other interested parties have the opportunity to submit additional evidence and opinions to Chiles Ministry of Finance to participate in the final determination process.
