PFG Building Glass (Pty) Ltd made an application to ITAC, alleging that circumvention of the anti-dumping duty on laminated safety glass from China via Malaysia is taking place.

Laminated safety glass is used in residential and commercial building applications, as well as in the automotive industry. It is also used by fabricators and manufacturers, distributors and replacement glazers.

The Commission on initiation, found that there was sufficient information to indicate that, subsequent to the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of laminated safety glass imported from China, Chinese exporters shifted the sourcing of the subject product from China to some of their related companies in Malaysia.

Consequently, the Commission made a recommendation to the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition that a definitive duty of 443% be imposed on laminated safety glass classifiable under tariff subheading 7005.29 originating in or imported from Malaysia. This definitive duty was implemented by SARS on 12 December 2025.

Please refer to Report 736 for the full details.
