Provisional anti-dumping duties have been imposed on pasta imported from Egypt, Latvia, Lithuania, and Turkey. The anti-dumping duties came into effect on 1 April 2021 and will remain in place until 16 September 2021. Thereafter, final anti-dumping duties may or may not be imposed. However, considering that ITAC has already made a preliminary finding of dumping, final anti-dumping duties are most likely.
| Tariff subheading | Country | Provisional duty |
| 1902.11, 1902.19 | Egypt | 43,27% |
| 1902.11, 1902.19 | Latvia | 4% |
| 1902.11, 1902.19 | Lithuania | 367,25% |
| 1902.11, 1902.19 | Turkey | 4% |
The investigation was initiated on 21 September 2020 following an application by Bolux Group (Pty) Ltd, Namib Mills (Pty) Ltd, Pioneer Foods (Pty) Ltd, and Tiger Brands Limited. These are SACU producers of the subject product. The local producers are alleging that pasta is dumped in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) market. The dumped pasta is alleged to be causing material injury and a threat of material injury.
