Australia Trade Measures Review Office says a flood of imported products from Indonesia has not harmed the market.
Yustinus Gunawan, a representative from the Sheet and Safety Glass Association, said the announcement was made by the Australian customs and excise office on August 10.
owever, they are giving 20 days to petitioners to submit a review if there is new evidence,? he said on Tuesday. However, he is confident there will not be any new findings.
The dumping charges against Indonesian sheet glass products first emerged last year. At that time, the Australian anti-dumping authority investigated the alleged dumping of certain clear float glass from Indonesia, China and Thailand. The temporary verification result showed there was a glass dumping margin of 3.3 ? 30.3 percent from Indonesian companies.
The exports of Indonesian glass products to Australia are currently quite high. In 2008, the export value reached US$ 10.6 million. Indonesia accounts for 27.4 percent of the glass market in Australia, followed by China and Thailand. In 2009, the export value and control dropped to $6.1 million and 21 percent of the total market.
The Australian customs and excise office, in charge of the dumping decision, recently discontinued the investigation of the alleged anti-dumping after it failed to identify any financial losses.
Trade Ministry Ernawati, a trade security director from the Trade Ministry, says the glass export market to Australia has been restored.
