China's Threaded Rods Nailed for Dumping in US
Published Date: 3/19/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some steel threaded rods from China were sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between April 2024 and March 2025. They’re stopping the review for two companies that didn’t sell any during this time. This could mean changes in duties and costs for importers soon, so keep an eye out!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
China-Wide Rate Stays at 48.91%
Commerce is keeping the China-wide entity rate at 48.91 percent; that rate will apply to Chinese exporters that are not found entitled to a separate rate. This 48.91% rate remains unchanged by this review for the China-wide entity.
Assessment and Cash-Deposit Rules for Importers
When final results are issued, Commerce will determine assessment rates and cash-deposit requirements: (1) individually calculated and non-selected separate-rate respondents will have cash deposits equal to the final weighted-average dumping margin (unless de minimis), (2) previously reviewed exporters keep their existing exporter-specific rate, (3) exporters without separate-rate status will have the China-wide rate (48.91%), and (4) non-Chinese exporters without a rate will have the rate of their Chinese supplier. Commerce intends to issue assessment and rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of final results.
Preliminary 0.74% Dumping Margin
Commerce preliminarily found that certain Chinese producers (Ningbo Dingtuo; the Ningbo Jinding Single Entity; Ningbo Dongxin; and Zhejiang Junyue) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.74 percent for sales to the U.S. during April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. This preliminary margin could be used to calculate antidumping duties on those companies' entries if finalized.
Rescission for Two Exporters with No Entries
Commerce is rescinding the review for Cooper & Turner (Ningbo) and IFI & Morgan Ltd. because they had no entries of subject merchandise during April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. For those companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties at the cash deposit rate that applied at the time of each entry, and rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after this notice's publication.
