ITC Finds Reasonable Indication of Injury
On March 3, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of temporary steel fencing from China alleged to be sold at less than fair value and alleged to be subsidized. The Commission instituted antidumping and countervailing duty investigations (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-754 and 731-TA-1732) and has commenced the final phase of those investigations.
Industrial Users, Consumers Can Participate
Industrial users of temporary steel fencing and, if the product is sold at retail, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in these antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list of parties, and parties who filed appearances in the preliminary phase need not refile for the final phase.
