US Extends Tariffs on Chinese Steel Racks to Shield Industry

Summary

These rules help protect U.S. companies from unfair pricing and unfair government help from China. So, importers should expect these duties to stay in place for now, keeping the playing field fair and prices steady.

Duties on Chinese Steel Racks Continue
The Department of Commerce is continuing antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duty orders on certain steel racks and parts thereof from the People's Republic of China. Importers of these steel racks should expect the AD and CVD duties to remain in place because Commerce and the ITC found that revoking them would likely lead to dumping, subsidized imports, and material injury to a U.S. industry.
U.S. Industry Protections Maintained
Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that revoking the AD and CVD orders on steel racks from the People's Republic of China would likely lead to continued dumping and countervailable subsidies and cause material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, the continuation of these orders maintains protections for U.S. companies that make or compete with these steel racks.
