Commerce Fixes Errors in Mexican Steel Tariff Probe
Published Date: 12/19/2025
Notice
Summary
The Department of Commerce fixed a couple of small but important mistakes in their September 2025 announcement about steel wire mesh from Mexico. They added a missing word and corrected who’s named in the paperwork, making sure exporters—not importers—are properly identified. These fixes help keep the rules clear for companies dealing with duties and cash deposits starting December 19, 2025.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Must Post Both AD and CVD Deposits
If you import standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico, the notice clarifies that the importer is required to post both antidumping duty and countervailing duty cash deposits as determined by Commerce. This corrected language is effective December 19, 2025 and applies to entries subject to the circumvention determination.
Exporter Name Corrected in Certification Agreement
Commerce corrected the certification agreement language to refer to the exporting party (e.g., Deacero S.A.P.I. de CV. versus Deacero USA, Inc.) rather than the importing party. The change clarifies which company must be named in certifications for entries covered by the preliminary circumvention determination, effective December 19, 2025.
