Vehicle windscreens on display as South Africa introduces anti-dumping duties of up to 129.15% on imports from China and Malaysia. The measures follow an ITAC finding of circumvention through country hopping from China to Malaysia.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties of up to 129.15% on vehicle windscreens imported from China and Malaysia.
Under the new measures, duties on Chinese front windscreens range from 12.92% to 129.15%, depending on the manufacturer.
Dongguan Kong Wan Automobile Glass faces a 28.39% duty, while Xinyi Automobile Glass and Dongguan Benson Automobile Glass are subject to a 12.92% duty. BSG Auto Glass and Fuyao Glass Industry Group are excluded.
This comes after the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) found that existing anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports were being circumvented through the routing of windscreens via Malaysia, undermining the remedial effect of the measures on the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) industry.
