South Africa: definitive anti-dumping duties on Chinese windscreens, up to 129%

The South African Revenue Service inserted definitive anti-dumping duties on 7 September 2026 on front windscreens originating in China, ranging from 12.92% to 129.15% depending on the manufacturer, following an ITAC investigation that also identified circumvention via Malaysia.

On 7 September 2026, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) published the definitive anti-dumping duties on front windscreens (tariff heading 8708.22.10) originating in China. The rates set are 12.92% for Xinyi Automobile Glass and Dongguan Benson Automobile Glass, 28.39% for Dongguan Kong Wan Automobile Glass, and 129.15% for all other, unnamed Chinese manufacturers. BSG Auto Glass and Fuyao Glass Industry Group are excluded from the measure.

The investigation by the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) also found that some Chinese windscreens were circumventing the duties already in force by being re-exported via Malaysia before entering the South African market. A separate notice of 4 September 2026 consequently imposes equivalent duties on Malaysian windscreens, from 12.92% for Xinyi Energy Smart Malaysia to 129.15% for other Malaysian exporters.

The complaint behind the investigation came from local windscreen manufacturers, who accused Chinese manufacturers of selling below their normal value, causing injury to South African automotive parts production.

This affects South African importers, distributors and car repair workshops buying replacement windscreens in China, directly or via a third country such as Malaysia, with South Africa also belonging to the SACU customs union alongside Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia and Botswana.

ما الذي يتغير بالنسبة إلى المستورد

For an importer buying windscreens in China for the South African market, the customs bill rises sharply, and very differently depending on the Chinese manufacturer chosen: checking the exact factory name before ordering is now essential, as is checking that no re-export step via Malaysia exposes the shipment to a double application of duties. Sorva helps document the real manufacturing origin with the factory, check whether the intended supplier is among the exclusions, and assess, where relevant, a sourcing alternative outside the scope of the investigation.
