Commerce Keeps Countervailing Duties on Indian Steel Wire Strand
Published Date: 4/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes (countervailing duties) on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from India because removing them could let unfair government subsidies sneak back in. This means U.S. companies making this steel wire stay protected from cheaper imports that get unfair help. These rules take effect starting April 10, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and the money flowing right.

Domestic PC Strand Makers Protected
If you are a U.S. company that makes prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand), the Department of Commerce kept the countervailing duty order in place to protect domestic producers. Commerce determined that revoking the order would likely allow subsidized imports to return, and the measure remains effective April 10, 2026.
62.92% Duty Assigned to Indian PC Strand
Imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand from India are assigned a net countervailable subsidy rate of 62.92 percent ad valorem, effective April 10, 2026. This rate applies to all producers/exporters from India listed in the final results of the sunset review.
