ITC Keeps Duties on Steel Imports from Six Countries
Published Date: 5/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes (called duties) on certain steel from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan. These taxes help protect American steel makers from unfair competition. If the taxes were removed, U.S. steel companies could get hurt again, so the duties will stay in place starting now.

Duties Stay On NOES Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined on May 8, 2026 to keep countervailing duties on non-oriented electrical steel (NOES) from China and Taiwan and antidumping duties on NOES from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan. The existing duty orders therefore remain in place to protect the U.S. industry from material injury.
Importers Continue Paying NOES Duties
Special import taxes (duties) on non-oriented electrical steel from the listed countries will remain in effect starting May 8, 2026. Companies that import NOES from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, or Taiwan will continue to be subject to those countervailing or antidumping duties.
