Taiwan Steel Products Escape Antidumping Duties in Review
Published Date: 1/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that certain corrosion-resistant steel from Taiwan wasn’t sold at unfairly low prices between July 2023 and June 2024. This means some companies won’t face extra duties, but the review is still open for comments. Steel makers and importers should watch for updates that could affect costs and trade rules soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Zero Dumping Margins
Commerce preliminarily found that certain corrosion-resistant steel from Taiwan was not sold below normal value for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. For that period Commerce preliminarily assigned dumping margins of 0.00 percent to Prosperity Tieh Enterprises Co., Ltd., Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd., and Great Grandeul Steel Company Limited (Samoa).
Rescission for Six Companies
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, in part, for six Taiwan producers that had no entries during July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. For those six companies Commerce will assess antidumping duties at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
Cash Deposit Rate Rules After Final Results
Upon publication of the final results of this administrative review, cash deposit requirements will take effect for shipments entered on or after that publication date. Cash deposit rates will equal the dumping margins established in the final results (or zero if the ultimate rate is de minimis under 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)); for producers/exporters not covered in this review the all-others rate will remain 11.04 percent.
Assessment Threshold and Timing Rules
If the final weighted-average dumping margins in this review are above de minimis (0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific ad valorem antidumping assessment rates and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after the final results, and if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) expires.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of the relevant entries for this review period, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Failure to file the certificate could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess double antidumping duties.
