Essen Steel Entries Face 170.65% Duty
If you imported prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Essen Steel during the period of review, those entries will be assessed at the all-others' antidumping duty rate of 170.65 percent. This decision follows Commerce's finding that Essen Steel's sale was not a bona fide sale and the rescission of the new shipper review, effective May 14, 2026.
No Company-Specific Cash Deposit — 170.65% Applies
Because Commerce rescinded the new shipper review, Essen Steel will not receive a company-specific cash deposit rate and continues to be subject to the all-others' cash deposit rate of 170.65 percent. This cash deposit status is effective as of May 14, 2026.
