With deep expertise in SACU anti-dumping matters, we guide clients through the complexities of anti-dumping duties, helping you manage risks and capitalise on opportunities in an increasingly regulated trade environment.
Anti-dumping duties are imposed for 5 years. Near the end of this period, a sunset review investigation determines if the duty remains necessary, resulting in maintenance, revision, or termination.
Sunset reviews initiate when domestic manufacturers submit an application to ITAC.
Cooperating exporters benefit from individually calculated duties—potentially receiving no duty, reduced duties, or adjusted rates based on their specific circumstances.
Non-cooperating exporters face a countrywide or residual duty, meaning even non-dumping exporters risk unnecessary duties by not participating.
New exporters who did not export to SACU during the original anti-dumping investigation can apply for a new shipper review to avoid anti-dumping duties.
The review determines if the exporter is dumping—no duty is imposed if dumping is absent. Without applying for this review, new exporters automatically face the countrywide anti-dumping duty.
Foreign exporters experiencing significantly changed circumstances can apply for a review of their existing anti-dumping duty. This changed circumstances review applies only to the specific exporter requesting it.
This option is available to companies that already have their own individually calculated anti-dumping duty from a previous anti-dumping investigation, allowing them to seek adjustments based on material changes in their business operations.
