On March 12, 2025, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission issued Announcements No. 2025/021 and No. 2025/020, announcing an affirmative preliminary determination in the anti-dumping investigation concerning interchangeable clamping bolt heads and interchangeable clamping bolt brackets imported from China. According to the announcements, starting from March 13, 2025, Australia will impose ad valorem duties as provisional anti-dumping measures on the involved Chinese products in the form of security deposits.
**Specific duty rates are as follows:**
- **Interchangeable Clamping Bolt Heads:**
- Ningbo Fenghui Metal Products Co., Ltd.: 31.5%;
- Other exporters: 76.8%.
- **Interchangeable Clamping Bolt Brackets:**
- Ningbo Fenghui Metal Products Co., Ltd.: 95.7%;
- Other exporters: 120.0%.
It is noteworthy that, due to insufficient evidence to support an affirmative preliminary determination on countervailing duties for Chinese imports, the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission stated that it will continue its investigation.
**Case Background:**
This dual investigation originated from an application submitted by the domestic company Abey Australia Pty Ltd on June 25, 2024. The investigation period for the case is from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, while the injury investigation period dates back to April 1, 2020.
**Impact and Recommendations:**
This preliminary determination has had a certain impact on the export of China's fastener industry to the Australian market. Relevant enterprises need to closely monitor the progress of subsequent investigations and actively respond to trade frictions to safeguard their legitimate rights and market share. At the same time, this incident serves as a reminder to domestic fastener enterprises to continuously improve product quality and competitiveness, diversify international markets, and reduce reliance on single markets, thereby enhancing the industry's risk resilience.
In the future, China's fastener industry needs to further strengthen technological innovation and market diversification strategies to address uncertainties in the international trade environment and ensure sustainable development in the global market.
