Commerce Department Retains Duties on Turkish Steel Reinforcing Bars
Published Date: 3/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on steel concrete reinforcing bars from Türkiye because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects U.S. steel producers who want a level playing field and means importers will keep paying these duties starting March 16, 2026. So, the money rules stay in place to protect American businesses from unfair competition.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Countervailing Duty Order Remains
The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that revoking the countervailing duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic of Türkiye would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies. Commerce therefore left the CVD order in place, applicable March 16, 2026.
Icdas Producer: 7.71% Duty Rate
Commerce determined a net countervailable subsidy rate of 7.71 percent ad valorem for Icdas Celik Enerji Tersanev e Ulasim Sanayi A.S., effective March 16, 2026. Imports of rebar from this named producer/exporter are covered by that 7.71% rate under the Order.
All-Others: 6.58% Duty Rate
Commerce determined a net countervailable subsidy rate of 6.58 percent ad valorem for 'All Others' producers/exporters of rebar from Türkiye, effective March 16, 2026. This 6.58% rate applies to producers/exporters not listed by name in the notice.
Habas Producer Excluded from Order
Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi is listed as excluded from the countervailing duty order on rebar from Türkiye. Imports from this named producer/exporter are not covered by the CVD order, effective March 16, 2026.
