Korea Steel Plates Hit with Ongoing Antidumping Duties Again
Published Date: 5/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Korean companies sold certain steel plates in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from February 2024 to January 2025. Because of this, they’re keeping antidumping duties in place to protect American businesses. These final results take effect on May 8, 2026, and could impact importers and steel buyers with updated costs.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries (per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2)). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Cash Deposit Requirements and Default Rate
Effective upon publication (May 8, 2026), cash deposit rules apply to shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date. Individually examined respondents will have cash deposit rates equal to the rates set in these final results (e.g., 1.18% and 0.94%), unless a rate is less than 0.50% (de minimis), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; for other producers/exporters the continuing all-others cash deposit rate is 0.98%.
Final Dumping Margins Set
Commerce found that Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. had a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.18% and Hyundai Steel Company had a margin of 0.94% for the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. These margins (final as of May 8, 2026) will be used as the basis to assess antidumping duties on entries covered by this review.
All-Others Rate for Unreviewed Entries
For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by respondents for which there is no rate for an intermediate company, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 0.98%.
