On 24 September 2024, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission (ADC) under the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources issued a notice initiating anti-dumping (AD) conditions on hot-rolled steel bars (hot-rolled deformed steel reinforcing bar in lengths) imported/from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

I. Relevant information:

1. Date of initiation of investigation: 24/9/2024

2. Item under investigation: Hot rolled steel bars under HS codes 7214.20.00, 7228.30.10, 7228.30.90, 7228.60.10

4. Plaintiff: Infrabuild NSW Pty Limited

5. Partial termination of the anti-dumping investigation:

On December 16, 2025, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission (ADC) issued a Notice of Partial Termination of the Anti-Dumping Investigation. Specifically, a Vietnamese enterprise was determined by the ADC to have engaged in dumping practices in its exports, but the dumping margin was less than 2% of the weighted average export price. Under Australian law, this margin is considered de minimis. Therefore, the ADC decided to terminate the investigation against this enterprise under section 269TDA(1)(b)(ii) of the Act.

Although the investigation into some of the aforementioned companies has been terminated, the anti-dumping investigation into hot-rolled reinforcing steel from the investigated countries continues against other exporters and countries within the scope of the case.
