Steel Wire Rod Tariffs Renewed: Brazil's Exports Still Taxed
Published Date: 1/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep special taxes on steel wire rod from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago because removing them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means U.S. steel makers stay protected from cheap imports starting January 9, 2026. If you’re in the steel business, these rules keep the playing field fair and prices steady.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Antidumping Orders Remain In Place
The Department of Commerce will keep the antidumping duty orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago in effect. Commerce finds revoking the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and this decision is applicable January 9, 2026.
Final Dumping Margins by Country
Commerce determined weighted-average dumping margins likely to prevail if the orders were revoked: up to 94.73 percent for Brazil, 4.05 percent for Indonesia, 20.11 percent for Mexico, 369.10 percent for Moldova, and 11.35 percent for Trinidad and Tobago. These margins are part of the final results published effective January 9, 2026.
