US Delays Decision on Chinese Temporary Steel Fencing Subsidies
Published Date: 3/24/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is taking more time to decide if temporary steel fencing from China gets extra taxes to keep things fair. Because the case is tricky and involves lots of details, the first decision date is pushed back from April 10 to a later date. This affects companies importing or selling this fencing and could mean changes in costs down the road.

Preliminary Determination Postponed to June 16, 2025

The preliminary determination deadline moved from April 10, 2025 to no later than June 16, 2025, and the final determination deadline will remain 75 days after the preliminary determination. If you import or sell temporary steel fencing from China, this delay affects the timing of when duties (if any) would be set.
