Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce says steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) from Algeria might be sold in the U.S. for less than they should be. This could lead to extra duties to keep things fair for American businesses. The decision is preliminary and open for comments until January 20, 2026, so stay tuned for updates!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
127.32% Provisional Duty on Algerian Rebar
Commerce preliminarily found rebar from Algeria is being sold below fair value and assigned an estimated dumping margin of 127.32 percent. U.S. Customs will suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit equal to this 127.32% rate for entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 19, 2025.
Adverse Rate Applied to Tosyali Algeria
Commerce preliminarily applied adverse facts available (AFA) to Tosyali Iron Steel Industry Algeria SPA because the company withdrew and did not cooperate, and assigned it a 127.32 percent rate based on the petition for the period April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. That company-specific AFA rate will be used for Tosyali Algeria unless changed in the final determination.
