South Africa imposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 22%-73% against imports of chicken from Germany, the Netherlands and the U.K.
South Africa does not impose import duties on EU members‚ because of a trade and cooperation agreement signed in 2001. But it is allowed to impose antidumping duties where there is a prima facie case that the local industry is suffering material injury from dumping by EU members.
Itac (International Trade Administration Commission) announced anti-dumping duties of 31.3% on Wiesenhof‚ from Germany‚ and 73.3% on remaining German importers. Imports from the Netherlands‚ excluding Frisia‚ would attract preliminary duties of 22.8% until January 2015‚ when the duties expire. A duty of 22% against UK imports was introduced.
