Initiation of an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of hot-rolled steel sheet piles, originating in the People’s Republic of China.
The investigation was announced in the Official Journal reference C177 dated 24 May 2018, concerning imports of hot-rolled steel sheet piles, originating in the People’s Republic of China.
The product is defined as:
- sheet piling of iron or steel
- whether or not drilled, punched or made from assembled elements
- composed of hot rolled corrugated sheets with interlocks that can form an impervious continuous wall
Cold formed steel sheet piles are excluded from the measures.
For information only, the product falls within TARIC code:
- 7301 1000 10
Interested parties who wish to make their views known or request a hearing should refer to the regulation for details (time limits apply).
The investigation must be concluded within 15 months, although it can be terminated earlier.
Normally if provisional duty is imposed, it is usually for the last 6 months of the investigation. If this happens, a security is required for imports entering into free circulation, which is held until the results of the investigation are published.
At the end of the investigation, the provisional Anti-Dumping Duty may be made definitive, may lapse or be cancelled. If the duty is made definitive, the securities held will be brought to account. Definitive measures will normally remain in place for 5 years.
A decision to register imports of the product can be made up to 3 months before any provisional duty is imposed, if certain conditions apply. If this happens, Anti-Dumping Duty can be added retrospectively to imports, from the start of the registration period until provisional or definitive duty is imposed, whichever is earlier.
