On 17 September 2021, ITAC applied for a review of the general rate of customs duty “taps and mixers”, classifiable under tariff subheading 8481.80.79.
ITAC cited the following reasons for the application:
- The main player in the domestic industry, Lixil Africa (Pty) Ltd, discontinued the local production of the subject product in May 2021; and
- As such, there is need to review the current tariff structure in view of the afore-mentioned developments in order to assess implications to the domestic industry.
Interested parties have until 13 October 2021 to respond.
