Turkish Rebar Dumped? U.S. Duties Hit Back Hard
Published Date: 8/12/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. checked if steel rebar from Türkiye was sold too cheaply in the U.S. from July 2023 to June 2024 and found some prices were below normal. They’re stopping the review for two companies that didn’t actually sell any rebar here. Businesses involved should pay attention because this could affect duties and costs soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary finding: Turkish rebar dumped
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that certain producers/exporters of steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Türkiye sold rebar in the United States at prices below normal value during the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. Interested parties were invited to comment on these preliminary results.
Review rescinded for two firms
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review, in part, for two named companies because U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show they had no reviewable entries during July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. Those two companies are therefore not being reviewed for that period.
