SILICON METAL
EXPORTED FROM THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Measures
Provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of dumping securities (DSA) and countervailing securities (CSA) have
been imposed on silicon metal exported from the People’s Republic of China (China).
All exporters and suppliers of silicon metal exported from China are subject to DSA and CSA.
Statement of Essential Facts and Preliminary Affirmative Determination number 237 and Anti-Dumping Notice
2015/22 provide further information to assist importers and Customs brokers.
Description of the goods
The goods subject to measures are:
 Silicon metal containing at least 96.00 per cent but less than 99.99 per cent silicon by weight, and
 Silicon metal containing between 89.00 per cent and 96.00 per cent silicon by weight that contains
aluminium greater than 0.20 per cent by weight,
of all forms (i.e. lumps, granules, or powder) and sizes.
Identifying the goods subject to measures
Goods subject to measures should be classified using the tariff sub-headings and associated statistical codes contained
in Table 1.
Table 1 – The tariff subheadings and statistical codes subject to measures
Tariff subheading

Statistical code

Date of effect
DSA and CSA were imposed by public notice on 23 February 2015.
Direction for collection of DSA and CSA
Goods subject to DSA and CSA must be entered using the dumping specification number (DSN) shown in Table 2.
DSA is in the form of an ad valorem measure. The DSA liability is calculated by multiplying the dumping export price
(DXP) by the DSA ad valorem duty rate.
CSA is also in the form of an ad valorem measure. The CSA liability is calculated by multiplying the DXP by the
CSA ad valorem duty rate.
The DXP is the total invoice price for the line on the invoice/entry expressed in the export price terms for the
respective DSN shown in Table 3.
