South Africa’s Mozambique Anti-Dumping Duties Hit Steel Pipes and Tiles
South Africa's Mozambique anti-dumping duties now cover large steel pipes and ceramic tiles. Here is what the ITAC gazette notices say and what comes next. The post South Africa’s Mozambique Anti-Dumping Duties Hit Steel Pipes and Tiles appeared first on The Rio Times .
South Africa has imposed temporary duties on large steel pipes and ceramic tiles imported from Mozambique. The International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) opened investigations into these two industrial goods, with the pipe case initiated in October 2025 and the tile case in November 2025. The charges are still provisional while the trade regulator completes its investigations.
The first duty, set at 261.24%, is based on allegations of dumping by Mozambican exporters, but ITAC's own calculations found a lower margin of 28.86%. Mozambique supplied 98% of the pipe imports into South Africa's Southern African Customs Union (SACU) by 2025. The provisional payment for the pipe measure runs until 18 December 2026.
The second duty, on ceramic tiles, is at 132.65%, with rates varying by country of origin. These charges also apply until January 2027. The measures aim to protect local industries from alleged dumping, but they may increase costs for importers and consumers.
