Mexico Steel Wire Rod Faces Continued Dumping Duty Review
Published Date: 2/12/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some steel wire rod from Mexico was sold for less than fair value between October 2023 and September 2024. They’re stopping the review for seven companies but continuing with two, which could affect import duties and prices soon. Businesses involved should pay attention and get ready for possible changes in costs starting February 12, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Deacero preliminarily hit with 15.97% margin
Commerce preliminarily found that Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. (treated with Deacero Summit as a single entity) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 15.97 percent for the period October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. If this preliminary finding is sustained in the final results, entries covered by this finding may be assessed duties based on that margin.
Cash deposit and all-others 20.11% rule continues
Commerce states that upon publication of the final results, cash deposit requirements for wire rod from Mexico will take effect for shipments entered on or after the publication date. For exporters/producers not covered in the review or prior segments, the 'all-others' cash deposit rate will remain 20.11 percent as established in the original investigation.
Review rescinded for seven Mexican exporters
Commerce is rescinding the review for seven companies—ArcelorMittal Mexico (AMM), Comercializadora Eloro, Villacero, Ingeteknos, Optimatiks, TA 2000, and Ternium—because CBP data showed they had no entries of subject merchandise during the review period (Oct 1, 2023–Sep 30, 2024). For those companies, antidumping duties will be assessed at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
Importer certificate and risk of double duties
This notice reminds importers they must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file that certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
How final assessment rates will be calculated
Commerce says that if a respondent's final weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, CBP will assess duties using an importer-specific assessment rate based on the ratio of dumping to entered value; if the margin or assessment rate is zero or de minimis, CBP will liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce also notes automatic-assessment practice that, absent a rate for intermediate companies, certain entries may be liquidated at the original all-others rate of 20.11 percent.
