【SMM Steel】South Africa's International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) recommended a 28.86% provisional anti-dumping duty on large-diameter welded steel tubes and pipes from Mozambique, effective for six months from June 23. The duty targets producer ETG Steel Solutions Limitada and other exporters, following an official probe that found dumped prices harmed local manufacturers. The products involved are welded steel tubes and pipes with external diameter exceeding 406.4 mm, including electric resistance welded, spiral welded, and submerged arc welded pipes under tariff subheading 7305.19. Domestic producer Hall Longmore initiated the complaint. Government records show imports from Mozambique surged from 1.48 million kg in 2023 to over 12.2 million kg in 2025, capturing a 98% import market share. This massive influx undercut local prices and reduced domestic profits. The authority confirmed the trade penalties align with regional agreements permitting AD actions under global trade rules.
