U.S. Extends Tariffs on Concrete Wire Strand Imports
Published Date: 6/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is keeping special taxes on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, Korea, and Thailand because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These taxes help stop unfair pricing and unfair government help from those countries. This decision started on June 2, 2026, and means importers will keep paying extra fees for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Keep Paying Duties
If you import prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, or Thailand (HTSUS 7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012), U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is effective June 2, 2026.
Domestic Industry Protected From Dumping
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission found that revoking the AD and CVD orders would likely lead to continued dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. To prevent that injury, Commerce ordered continuation of the AD and CVD Orders effective June 2, 2026.
