Turkish Steel Rebar Hit with Antidumping Duties After Review
Published Date: 4/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Turkish companies sold steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) in the U.S. for less than fair value from July 2023 to June 2024. This means certain importers might have to pay extra duties starting April 6, 2026, to level the playing field. If you’re involved in importing or selling this rebar, keep an eye on these changes—they could affect prices and costs soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
18.87% Dumping Margin for Colakoglu
If you import steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Colakoglu, Commerce found a weighted-average antidumping margin of 18.87% for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. That margin was published in the final results effective April 6, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates: 18.87% and 3.90%
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (April 6, 2026), Colakoglu's cash deposit rate will equal the established weighted-average dumping margin (18.87%). The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters remains 3.90% (the all-others rate). These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Duties May Be Assessed April 6, 2026
Commerce will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries of subject merchandise, with the final results applicable April 6, 2026. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication, and if a timely summons is filed, liquidation may be stayed until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) expires.
Importer Duty Reimbursement Certificate Required
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for this review period, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties or increase duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Automatic Assessment at 3.90% for Unreviewed Entries
Commerce's automatic assessment practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise produced by Colakoglu for which Colakoglu did not know the merchandise sold to an intermediary was destined for the United States. In those cases, CBP will liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 3.90% if there is no rate for the intermediate company involved.
