Taiwan Steel Duties Stick: No Shipments, But Prices Were Low
Published Date: 1/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that stainless steel sheet and strip from Taiwan was sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from July 2023 to June 2024. Yieh United Steel Company didn’t ship any products to the U.S. during this time. These final results, effective January 15, 2026, could affect import duties and trade fairness for companies involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
21.10% Dumping Margins Assessed
For the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, Commerce found weighted-average dumping margins of 21.10 percent for Shiner Steel International Ltd and 21.10 percent for Yuan Long Stainless Steel Ltd. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties at those ad valorem rates on entries of the subject merchandise produced and/or exported by those companies for that period, effective January 15, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Imports
Starting on the publication date of these final results (January 15, 2026), Commerce set cash deposit requirements for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that date. Company-specific cash deposit rates will be the rates established in this review for listed companies, previous company-specific rates remain for previously reviewed firms, producer-based rules apply where relevant, and the all-others cash deposit rate remains 12.61 percent.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during this review period, as required under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
No-Shipments Finding for YUSCO
Commerce determined that Yieh United Steel Company (YUSCO) had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries produced by YUSCO but exported by other parties at the rate of the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate (12.61 percent).
