Third Five‑Year Review May Preserve Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission started a third five‑year review on April 1, 2026 to decide whether revoking the antidumping (issued June 29, 2010) and countervailing (issued July 7, 2010) duty orders on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from China would likely cause material injury to U.S. producers. If you are a U.S. producer of this product, you can respond with information by May 1, 2026 and the Commission will use those responses to decide whether the duties should remain.
Importers and Buyers May Face Duty Costs
The Commission is seeking information from U.S. importers, industrial users, and purchasers about imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand; responses are due by May 1, 2026 and comments on responses by June 9, 2026. If the Commission and Commerce maintain the antidumping and countervailing duty orders, importers and buyers could continue to face duties when bringing this product into the United States.
