Commerce Clears Malaysian Wire Strand From Extra Duties
Published Date: 6/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that three Malaysian companies—Kiswire, Southern PC Steel, and Wei Dat—did not sell prestressed concrete steel wire strand in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from June 2023 to May 2024. This means no extra duties will be charged for that period. The final decision took a bit longer due to government delays but is now official as of June 3, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
No Antidumping Duties for Three Importers
Commerce found that Kiswire, Wei Dat, and Southern PC Steel did not dump prestressed concrete steel wire strand in the U.S. for the period June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024, and assigned each a 0.00% weighted-average dumping margin. That means importers of PC strand from these three companies will not be charged antidumping duties for entries during that period; this decision is effective June 3, 2026.
Unreviewed Entries May Face 5.13% Rate
For entries produced by Kiswire or Wei Dat where those companies did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct Customs to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for any intermediate company; the all-others rate is 5.13 percent. This can result in a 5.13% assessment on such entries if the intermediate company lacks a specific rate.
Cash Deposit Rates Set to 0.00% for Listed Firms
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after publication of these final results (June 3, 2026), the cash deposit rate for the companies listed in the final results will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in this review — here 0.00% for Kiswire, Wei Dat, and Southern PC Steel. All other manufacturers or exporters not covered by a specific rate will continue to have the all-others cash deposit rate of 5.13%.
