On 3 July, Itac has officially concluded its sunset review of the anti-dumping duties on Gypsum Plasterboard, classifiable under tariff subheading 6809.11, originating in or imported from the Republic of Indonesia and the Kingdom of Thailand.
The Commission has recommended that the existing duties for Indonesia (34.6%) and Thailand (45%) be maintained to protect the Sacu industry from the recurrence of unfair trade practices.
The investigation process
Itac received a sunset review application from Saint-Gobain Products South Africa (Pty) Ltd, supported by Etex South Africa Building System (Pty) Ltd.
On 20 August 2025, the Commission initiated a sunset review of the anti-dumping duty on Gypsum Plasterboard originating in or imported from Indonesia and Thailand. The Commission received no responses from importers, producers and exporters of the subject product during the investigation.
The Commission made a final determination that the expiry of the anti-dumping duties on Gypsum Plasterboard originating in or imported from Indonesia and Thailand would likely lead to the recurrence of dumping and material injury. The Minister approved the Commission’s recommendation. The Commission’s detailed reasons for its final determination are set out in Report No. 775.
