The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) has recommended that existing anti-dumping duties of between 10% and 45% on clear float glass be maintained after finding prima facie evidence that the expiry of the measures would likely result in continued dumping and material injury to the Southern Africa Customs Union (Sacu).

The float glass thickness flagged by the commission is 2.5 mm or more but not exceeding 6 mm divided into 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm.

Itac conducted a sunset review investigation of the anti-dumping on clear float glass, imported from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following an application by float and patterned glass manufacturer PG Group’s PFG Building Glass division.

Clear float glass is sold in its existing form to glass merchants for general end-use applications, such as residential glazing, architectural glazing for industrial and commercial purposes, picture framing and furniture manufacture.

It is also used as a basic input for further processing to enhance the basic product into heat strengthened, laminated, mirror and automotive glass products for onward sale for use in the automotive, building, industrial and furniture markets.

Itac’s decision has been recommended to Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Parks Tau.
