According to Australia“s Trade Measures Review Office, the flood“ of imported products from Indonesia has not harmed the market. Yustinus Gunawan, a representative from the Sheet and Safety Glass Association, said the announcement was made by the Australian customs and excise office on 10 August, adding that: However, they are giving 20 days to petitioners to submit a review if there is new evidence. He is, however, confident there will not be any new findings. Dumping charges against Indonesian sheet glass products first emerged in 2010, when the Australian anti-dumping authority investigated the alleged dumping of certain clear float glass from Indonesia, China and Thailand. Results showed that there was a glass dumping margin of 3.3-30.3% from Indonesian companies. The exports of Indonesian glass products to Australia are currently quite high. In 2008, the export value reached USD 10.6 million. Indonesia accounts for 27.4% of the glass market in Australia, followed by China and Thailand. In 2009, the export value and control dropped to USD 6.1 million and 21% of the total market. The Australian customs and excise office, in charge of the dumping decision, recently discontinued the investigation of the alleged anti-dumping after it failed to identify any financial losses. According to a trade security director from the Trade Ministry, the glass export market to Australia has been restored.
