Color coated carbon steel straps, coiled or not, whether or not wax-polished, with nominal widths from 12mm to 32mm, nominal thicknesses from 0.5mm to 1.5mm - HS Code: 7212.40.00

6. Preliminary conclusion:

The ADC's fact sheet on material data indicates that the Government of Vietnam does not distort the market for raw materials so that exporters can dump them; The dumping margin of Vietnamese exporters is negligible and does not cause damage to the Australian manufacturing industry.

Therefore, in the preliminary conclusion, ADC believes that it is not necessary to apply a temporary anti-dumping tax deposit measure for colored steel belts originating from Vietnam.
