Australia has begun an investigation into the extension of anti-dumping tariffs on steel reinforcing bars from China 

Australia's Anti-Dumping Commission (ADC) has initiated a sunset review to assess whether to extend existing anti-dumping duties on steel reinforcing bars (rebar) imported from China.
