Antidumping Duties on Steel Wire Strand Continue

Estimated reading time: 1–5 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce will continue antidumping duties on prestressed concrete steel wire strand. Countries affected are Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand.

The Commerce Department, along with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), decided these duties should stay. The reason is to stop companies in these countries from selling at very low prices in the U.S.

The duties began on January 28, 2004, for most countries and February 4, 2004, for India. These duties are to balance out any unfair subsidies that companies might get from their governments.

The decision to continue these duties came after reviews in 2025. The reviews showed that without the duties, dumping and subsidies would probably continue.

Prestressed concrete steel wire strand is a special type of steel used in building. The duties make sure companies in America can compete fairly with those in the other countries.

The rates of duties will stay the same as before. This decision was officially made on June 2, 2026. The duties help protect jobs and industries in the United States.

The next review to decide if these duties should continue will happen before the fifth anniversary of this decision.

All companies must follow rules about how to handle information about these duties. This is important to make sure everything stays fair and private.

This ongoing action ensures that American businesses dealing with these products are not unfairly harmed by international trading practices.
