Thailand's Dumping and Subsidies Committee announced an expansion of anti-dumping measures against certain high-carbon alloy steel wires from China, concluding that imports of slightly modified products were being used to circumvent existing tariffs.
The expanded measures apply to certain hot-rolled alloy steel wires, the technical characteristics of which remain substantially similar to products already subject to anti-dumping duties. Anti-dumping duties range from 15.04 percent to 36.79 percent of the CIF value.
Thai authorities determined that the goods tested in the circumvention investigation had undergone only minor modifications compared to the goods subject to the original anti-dumping measure. These modifications were not considered sufficient to change the essential characteristics, use or commercial character of the product. However, the modified products were imported under descriptions or customs classifications that allowed them to evade existing anti-dumping duties.
As a result, Thailand decided to extend the original measures to products that were found to have evaded the duties.
The products in question fall under codes 7227.90.10.042, 7227.90.10.049, 7227.90.10.090, 7227.90.90.040, 7227.90.90.041, 7227.90.90.043, 7227.90.90.044, 7227.90.90.045, 7227.90.90.046, 7227.90.90.049 and 7227.90.90.090.
