According to an official announcement on May 31, 2023, the European Commission decided to extend the existing anti-dumping (AD) measure on imports of certain concrete reinforcement bars and rods (rebars) originating in Belarus for another five years, following an expiry review. The AD duty rate is maintained at 10.6%.

The expiry review was launched based on a request filed by the European Steel Association (EUROFER) on March 16, 2022, in view of the expiry of the AD measures would be likely to result in the continuation of dumping and recurrence of injury to the EU industry.

The products involved are certain iron or non-alloy steel concrete reinforcement bars and rods, classified under CN codes ex 7214 10 00, ex 7214 20 00, ex 7214 30 00, ex 7214 91 10, ex 7214 91 90, ex 7214 99 10, and ex 7214 99 95 (TARIC codes 7214 10 00 10, 7214 20 00 20, 7214 30 00 10, 7214 91 10 10, 7214 91 90 10, 7214 99 10 10, 7214 99 95 10).
