U.S. International Trade Commission Launches Review on Steel Wire Strand from China
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced a review. This review looks at imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand from China.
The review will check if revoking orders will hurt U.S. industries. These orders involve antidumping and countervailing duties. Duties are extra charges on products when they enter a country. The review can help decide if these duties should continue or end.
The USITC is asking for information from interested parties. These parties must give their responses by May 1, 2026. Comments on these responses must be sent by June 9, 2026.
Caitlyn Hendricks-Costello from the Office of Investigations can provide more information. She can be reached at (202) 205-2058.
The antidumping duty was first made on June 29, 2010. The countervailing duty was added on July 7, 2010. These duties were reviewed in 2015 and again in 2021. Now, the USITC is looking to review them again.
This review is very detailed. It will look at things like imports, prices, and how they affect U.S. industries. The USITC will assess this information to decide its next steps.
People or groups who want to take part must file an entry of appearance. They have to do this no later than 21 days after this news was published in the Federal Register.
The USITC will also handle business proprietary information (BPI) under special rules. Those who want to see this information must apply within 21 days.
The process has rules to ensure all submissions are accurate. These rules include making certifications about the data submitted.
The review is for anyone interested in steel wire strands. This can be producers, importers, or anyone affected by these duties. They must share specific information like their name, address, and the likely effects of removing duties.
The investigation wants to see the impact on U.S. industries. It will gather data from 2025 as part of this process.
The review also seeks to understand changes in supply and demand after 2019. There is an option for participants to agree or disagree with the definitions given in the review.
This review is part of ongoing efforts under the Tariff Act of 1930. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, issued the order for this review.
