On 13 March 2026, the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) invited comments on its proposed amendment to its Anti-dumping Regulations, due by 10 April 2026.
The proposed amendments address substantive and procedural aspects of the existing regulatory framework. Substantively, the proposed amendments clarify the Commission’s authority to self-initiate investigations, strengthen disciplines against circumvention, and provide mechanisms to address distorted market conditions when determining normal value. The amendments also refine the approach to incomplete questionnaire responses at the preliminary stage of an investigation, reinforce the framework for injury analysis and expand provisions governing price undertakings and public-interest assessments.
Procedurally, the proposed amendments provide clearer standards governing reviews, including anti-circumvention, sunset, interim and new shipper reviews. The revisions also clarify provisions relating to the treatment of confidential information.
