The Commission’s SEF 657 analysis provides clear evidence of continued dumping and subsidisation by Chinese exporters, and demonstrates the vulnerability of the domestic industry in the absence of trade remedies.
The Council supports the Commission’s key conclusions on the persistence of a particular market situation in China, the existence of positive dumping and subsidy margins for most exporters, and the threat posed by unfairly priced Chinese imports to the sustainability of Australian producers. The updated variable factors and proposed duty rates are considered necessary to prevent the continuation or recurrence of material injury.
