South Africa has introduced high import tariffs on structural steel from China and Thailand after an investigation found the products were sold at unfairly low prices.
The duties, effective Thursday, stand at 74.98 percent on imports from China and 20 percent on those from Thailand. They will last for five years, the government announced in a notice published this week.
