Review Could Protect U.S. Producers and Jobs
The U.S. International Trade Commission started a five-year review on February 3, 2025 to decide whether to keep antidumping duties (extra taxes) on steel threaded rod from China. The notice says that if the duties stay, it helps U.S. companies compete fairly and keeps jobs safe. Interested parties must submit responses by March 5, 2025 and may file comments by April 17, 2025.
Antidumping Duties on Imports May Continue
The review may result in continuation of the antidumping duty order—meaning extra taxes would remain on imports of steel threaded rod from China. The original order was issued April 14, 2009 and was previously continued effective August 19, 2014 and March 9, 2020; the Commission will determine whether revocation would likely lead to recurrence of material injury.
