An investigation has started; the notice is not a duty order
Indonesia's Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI) announced on 15 September 2026 that it had initiated an antidumping investigation into zinc-coated or galvanized steel (BJLS) originating in China. The notice lists BTKI 2022 tariff codes 7210.49.11, 7210.49.17, 7210.49.18, 7210.49.19, 7212.30.12, 7212.30.13, 7212.30.19, 7225.92.90 and 7225.99.90.
KADI describes this as an investigation initiated after a domestic-industry application and an initial sufficiency review. The announcement does not state a final dumping or injury determination, a provisional measure, or a duty rate. Do not add an assumed antidumping amount to today's quote solely because the case has opened.
Screen tariff code, physical product and Chinese origin
The listed codes are references under Indonesia's 2022 tariff nomenclature, not a substitute for checking the complete product description and any later tariff amendments. Match the proposed steel's coating, width, thickness, form, grade, processing and end use to the official product scope with an Indonesian broker. Confirm the actual country of origin and producer from mill records, invoices and production documents.
This is distinct from the broader Indonesian steel-import permit workflow covered in an earlier Yifeng guide: the present notice concerns one trade-remedy investigation. A change of trading company or shipping route does not by itself change origin. Do not misdescribe, reclassify or transship goods to avoid scrutiny; ask a qualified broker to resolve a genuine classification or origin question.
Protect quotes while the case develops
For a purchase order not yet shipped, save the supplier's mill name, certificate of analysis, coating specification, production country and intended Indonesian tariff line. Ask the buyer's broker to check KADI and customs updates at the time of declaration. If a questionnaire or official request arrives, preserve sales, purchase, production and import records and obtain local trade-remedy advice on the response process.
Use a written quote-validity period and a clause explaining how a legally imposed new duty or other cost change would be handled. Keep current duties, ordinary customs tax, import licensing and the pending investigation in separate line items. The opening notice alone neither proves future duty nor guarantees that a specific product is inside or outside the final scope.
Your next-order checklist
- Treat 15 September as the case-initiation date, not a final duty start date.
- Compare the exact product with all nine listed BTKI 2022 references and official scope.
- Verify mill, production country and origin evidence; a trader or route change does not change origin.
- Ask an Indonesian broker to monitor later KADI notices and declaration-time rules.
- Keep any future trade-remedy cost separate from current taxes and permits in the RFQ.
