Background
The global metals industry is the bedrock
of manufacturing capability and a key sector for many countries
in terms of GDP contribution and employment. Commodity pricing
of many metals, overcapacity and the shift to emerging markets
to take advantage of lower labour rates are all challenges for
global players in this sector.
Customs and international trade issues
Rarely a day goes by without the initiation
of an anti-dumping action against a metals manufacturer somewhere
in the world. The steel community, shipping raw materials and
finished products to international markets, will undoubtedly
recall the trade war between the EU and the US in March 2002,
during which several categories of steel product were subjected
to US safeguard measures.
Solutions to help you succeed
We can advise those seeking to lodge
and anti-dumping duty complaint; and those defending such as action.
We can also make an application for reimbursement of the duties
paid by an importer when the dumping margin on which the goods duties
have been calculated have been reduced or eliminated.
We can devise customs valuation strategies
that minimise duty exposures.
In the metal sector, we have successfully
combined customs warehousing with duty
relief's that seamlessly link the supply chain of extractors, manufacturers,
distributors
and customers in the most duty efficient
fashion, improving cash flow and generating absolute savings.
