Case 679 is a combined dumping-and-subsidy investigation opened by the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission on 30 June 2025 (initiation notice ADN 2025/053), triggered by an application from Rondo Building Services Pty Ltd, a domestic steel-framing manufacturer. The subsidy arm of the case reached the provisional-measures stage on 18 June 2026, imposing a countervailing duty on Chinese LGST pending the final determination. A companion provisional anti-dumping duty on the same product line is proceeding on the same case timeline (separate GTA intervention).
The product at issue — light gauge steel stud and track — is a commodity input for internal non-loadbearing wall framing, widely used in modular and prefabricated construction. This is the third ADC steel-building-products trade remedy against China logged in the register, following the strata steel bolts and flat-rolled steel countervailing/anti-dumping actions.
No public ad-valorem rate for the provisional countervailing duty specifically (as opposed to the parallel anti-dumping duty, or the distinct, already-finalised Rondo ceiling-framing case) was located in open sources as of filing; the ADC's public record for Case 679 should be checked directly for the gazetted rate schedule.
