On 21 August the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) called for comment on the rebate facility (Rebate Item) for the importation of flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, clad, plated or coated with tin (‘tinplate’), classifiable in tariff subheadings 7210.11, 7210.12.10, 7210.12.90, and 7212.10, which is due by 04 September.
The application was lodged by the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) who reasoned that:
- The subject products are no longer manufactured in the SACU region; and
- The current duty serves as an unnecessary cost-raising effect on the downstream industry.
