INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION COMMISSION

NOTICE OF AN INITIATION OF THE INVESTIGATION FOR REMEDIAL ACTION IN

THE FORM OF A SAFEGUARD AGAINST THE INCREASED IMPORTS OF THREADED
              FASTENERS OF IRON OR STEEL: BOLT ENDS & SCREW STUDS, SCREW

STUDDING AND OTHER HEXAGON NUTS (EXCLUDING THOSE OF STAINLESS
              STEEL AND THOSE IDENTIFIABLE FOR AIRCRAFT)

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (the Commission)
              decided to proceed with an investigation for remedial action in the form of a safeguard

against the increased imports of threaded fasteners of iron or steel: bolt ends & screw

studs, screw studding and other hexagon nuts (excluding those of stainless steel and
              those identifiable for aircraft).

Based on the information submitted, the Commission decided that the applicant submitted

prima facie information to indicate that:

•  there were unforeseen developments that led to the surge in volumes of imports;

•  there is a surge in volumes of imports and the surge is recent, sudden, sharp and

significant enough;
                  •  the SACU industry is suffering serious injury; and

•  there is a causal link between the serious injury and the surge in volumes of

imports.

THE APPLICANT
              The application was lodged by South African Iron and Steel Institute on behalf of the

South African Fasteners Manufacturers’ Association and its members producing the
              subject product.
