Notice

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Keep Paying Duties
The Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission are continuing antidumping duty (AD) orders on carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from India, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China, and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel threaded rod from India and China. If you import these threaded rods, your imports will continue to be subject to those AD and CVD duties and you will keep paying those extra taxes.
U.S. Producers Shielded From Dumping
Commerce and the ITC determined that revoking these AD orders (for India, Taiwan, Thailand, China) and the CVD order (for India and China) would likely lead to dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. Keeping the orders in place is intended to protect American steel threaded rod producers from unfair foreign pricing and subsidies.
