USITC steel wire rod duties ruling
Theย U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC)ย has decided that ending current trade orders would likely harm the U.S. industry, soย USITC steel wire rod dutiesย on imports ofย carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Chinaย will stay in place. This outcome means U.S. producers will continue to receive protection against unfairly traded Chinese wire rod, in line with other enforcement actions covered in ourย trade and policy news.
The decision follows aย fiveโyear (sunset) reviewย under theย Uruguay Round Agreements Act, which requires regular checks on existing orders. In its review, the USITC found that revoking the orders would probably lead to continued or renewedย material injuryย to U.S. producers. For these products, antidumping (AD) rates remain atย 106.19% for eight exporters/producersย andย 110.25% for six other manufacturers, alongside existing countervailing (CV) duty rates.
