Trade minister Ebrahim Patel approved a recommendation to maintain
anti-dumping duties on frozen bone-in chicken portions originating in or
imported from the US.
Following an investigation that started in
December 2022, the International Trade Administration Commission of
South Africa, known as ITAC, concluded that the expiry of duties on
these poultry portions would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and material injury to the chicken industry in
the Southern African Customs Union, according to a Government Gazette Notice.
The
panel recommended to
Patel that the duties be maintained at R9.40 ($0.49) per kilogram.
