[Australia Issues Preliminary Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Determinations on Rail Wheels for Freight from China]

On December 22, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission issued Announcement No. 2025/128, making preliminary anti-dumping and countervailing determinations on rail wheels for freight imported from China. It decided to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on the involved Chinese products in the form of deposits starting from December 22, 2025. The duty rate for both non-cooperating producers and all producers is 36.9%. As there is currently insufficient evidence to support a preliminary affirmative countervailing determination on the involved Chinese products, the Commission will continue its investigation. The Australian HS code for the involved products is 8607.19.00.20.
