Summary

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Possible Duties on Chinese Steel Fencing
The U.S. ITC has moved to the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations (Nos. 701-TA-754 and 731-TA-1732) into temporary steel fencing from China (HTS 7308.90.95). If the investigations find injury, extra duties (taxes) could be applied to those imports, which could raise costs for importers and buyers of that fencing.
U.S. Manufacturers Could Gain Protection
The investigation is to decide whether imports of temporary steel fencing from China are materially injuring U.S. industry; a finding of injury could lead to duties that protect U.S. manufacturers of this fencing. The Department of Commerce preliminarily found the imports subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value.
