Turkish Rebar Faces New Import Duties
If you import steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic of Türkiye, extra import fees called countervailing duties will apply because the Department of Commerce found subsidies were provided during the review period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Companies that import or buy Turkish rebar should expect these duties when the steel arrives in the U.S.
