On 17 December 2025, the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa ITAC published the Sunset Review of the anti-dumping duties on ropes and cables also known as ropes and cables of steel or wire ropes of a diameter that is exceeding 32mm classified under tariff subheadings 7312.10.24, 7312.10.30 and 7312.10.90 originating in or imported from Germany and the United Kingdom UK.
In accordance with the provisions of the Anti-Dumping Regulations and the World Trade Organization WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement, any definitive anti-dumping duty shall be terminated on a date not later than five years from its imposition, unless the authorities determine, in a review initiated before that date, on their own initiative or upon a duly substantiated request made by or on behalf of the domestic industry within a reasonable period of time prior to that date, that the expiry of the duties would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.
On 07 June 2024, ITAC notified interested parties through a Government Gazette notice that unless a substantiated request is made indicating that the expiry of the anti-dumping duties against imports of ropes and cables of a diameter exceeding 32 mm originating in or imported from Germany and the UK would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, the anti-dumping duties on ropes and cables of a diameter exceeding 32 mm originating in or imported from Germany and the UK would expire.
