South Africa imposes anti-dumping tariffs on Brazilian chicken
Jan, 24, 2022 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202204
South Africa has imposed temporary anti-dumping tariffs on bone-in chicken imported from Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Polony, and Spain, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) attaché in Pretoria.
The anti-dumping tariffs on Brazilian bone-in chicken meat are now set to a rate of 265% and will be in effect until June this year. Previously, the Brazilian product was subject to a 62 percent tax.
According to South Africa’s Revenue authority, Brazil is the second-largest exporter of bone-in chicken to South Africa, alongside Ireland, both of them accounting for 18% of shipments and trailing behind the United States (39%).
This is the second anti-dumping announcement in recent months. In August of last year, South Africa imposed anti-dumping duties on bone-in chicken from the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
The South African Commission for the Administration of International Trade (Itac) stated in December last year that there were indications of dumping in chicken imported from Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, and Spain, which was either causing material damage or risk of material damage to the local industry. Itac will continue to investigate the case until June when final rates are expected to be announced.
