The Anti Dumping Committee Of Indonesia This Week Launched A Sunset Review Investigation On Hot Rolled Coils

This  week, the Indonesian Anti-dumping Committee began an investigation into hot rolled coil imports from China, India, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Taiwan, and Thailand. This is in response to the domestic producer PT Krakatau Steel’s application.

Targeted HS Codes for the classified goods are 7208.10.00, 7208.25.00, 7208.26.00, 7208.27.11, 7208.27.19, 7208.27.91, 7208.27.99, 7208.36.00, 7208.37.00, 7208.38.00, 7208.39.10, 7208.39.90, 7208.90.10, 7208.90.20, and 7208.90.90.

2008 saw the committee issue its first positive final determination; following the first sunset review in 2013, the committee added Belarus and Russia to the list of countries subject to anti-dumping levies. The AD obligations were once more extended in 2019, at rates as high as 20%. 

1.06 million tonnes of these products were imported into Indonesia in 2022, an increase of less than 1% from the previous year. However, compared to 5.2% in 2021, just 8.8% of it was supplied by the aforementioned nations, with Russia and Belarus providing nil.
