Additional notes
Comment / explanation
Extract from the Grounds on the Investigation for Possible Dumping in the Import Prices of Steel Bars for the Manufacturing of Grinding Balls with a Diameter of Less Than 4 Inches: a) Start date of the investigation: December 9th, 2023 (Date of publication of the investigation in the Official Gazette). b) Investigated product: Steel bars for the manufacturing of conventional grinding balls with a diameter of less than 4 inches, classified under tariff code 7228.3000 of the Chilean Harmonized System. c) Country of origin: China. d) Basis of the alleged dumping claim: Since wire rods and steel bars share a similar cost structure, it is considered an indication of dumping that the export prices of Chinese-origin wire rods are lower than the export prices of wire rods from Turkey and Latin America. CRUspi Longs price index is higher than the CRUspi Asia price index (mostly influenced by Chinese-origin steel). e) Factors based on the damage and threat of damage to the national production industry: Drop in national sales prices, drop in national production, drop in operating margin, drop in sales of the national product in the domestic market.
