Jakarta:The Indonesian Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI) has initiated an interim review investigation into the application of anti-dumping measures on imports of flat-rolled products made of iron or non-alloy steel, known as Hot Rolled Coil (HRC), from Belarus and Kazakhstan. KADI Chairperson Frida Adiati stated that initial indications revealed changes in circumstances of HRC imports from these countries that could impact dumping margins in Indonesia.

According to Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, KADI discovered sufficient initial evidence regarding alterations in HRC trade conditions from Belarus and Kazakhstan to Indonesia, potentially affecting the dumping margin size. The HRC products under scrutiny fall within 18 tariff headings, classified under the Harmonized System (HS) as per the Book Indonesian Customs Tariff (BTKI) 2022, reflected in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 103 of 2024, amended by PMK Number 31 of 2026.

The investigation is based on Article 73 paragraph (2) letter b and Article 74 paragraph (1) letter a of Government Regulation Number 39 of 2026 concerning Safeguard Measures, Antidumping Measures, and Countervailing Measures. It targets imported HRC products for the period from July 1, 2025, to June 31, 2026, with a maximum investigation period of 12 months as outlined in the regulation.

KADI has notified relevant parties, including the domestic industry, importers, and representatives from Belarus and Kazakhstan, about the investigation's commencement. Information has also been communicated to the Belarusian and Kazakhstani governments' representatives in Indonesia and the Indonesian Embassies in the respective countries.
