South Africa has imposed final antidumping duties on structural steel imports from China and Thailand, stepping up trade protection for its domestic steel industry. The decision follows an investigation that found dumped imports were hurting local manufacturers and putting added pressure on the sector.
The new duties are significantly higher than the provisional rates introduced in late 2024 and will remain in force for five years. Imports from China now face a duty of 74.98%, up from 52.81%, while Thailand’s duty has been raised to 20.32% from 9.12%. The measures apply to key construction-grade structural steel products used in buildings, bridges, mining operations and railway infrastructure.
The move is expected to provide relief to South African steelmakers that have been struggling against a sharp rise in low-priced imports. Local producers argue that a surge in cheaper structural steel has damaged profitability, intensified competitive pressure and contributed to plant stress across the sector.For the steel trade, the decision signals a tougher stance on import competition and highlights how trade remedies are increasingly shaping market access in major steel-consuming regions.
