Notice of initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain concrete reinforcement bars and rods originating in the Republic of Belarus.
The Commission has announced, in OJ C114 of 31 March 2016, its decision to initiate an anti-dumping investigation, concerning imports of bars and rods of a type used for concrete reinforcement, which are bars and rods made of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling. They contain indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process or are twisted after rolling (‘the product under investigation’). The product subject to this investigation does not include high fatigue performance iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods.
For information only the product is classified within the following commodity codes:
7214 10 00
7214 20 00
7214 30 00
7214 91 10
7214 91 90
7214 99 10
7214 99 71

The investigation must be concluded within 15 months, although it can be terminated without measures, earlier.
A decision to impose provisional duties can be taken after a minimum of 60 days from the start of the formal investigation. However, as provisional Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) can only run for 6 months, it is more usual to impose provisional duty for the last 6 months of the investigation. If this happens, a security against ADD on imports is taken on entry to free circulation and held until the results of the investigation are published.
At the end of the investigation, the provisional ADD may be made definitive, may lapse or be cancelled. If, following the investigation, it is decided that the duty should be made definitive, the security will be collected. Definitive measures will normally remain in place for 5 years.
This information should be displayed to the public upon receipt.
