Commerce Fixes Tiny Math Error in Belgian Steel Duties
Published Date: 6/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed a small math mistake in its review of steel plates from Belgium for May 2023 to April 2024. This change affects Industeel S.A. and updates the final duties they owe. The correction kicks in starting June 24, 2026, making sure the numbers are fair and accurate.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Certificate Requirement and Double Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) prior to liquidation of relevant entries from this review period. Failure to comply could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties.
Dumping Margin Reduced for Industeel
Commerce corrected a ministerial error and changed Industeel Belgium S.A.'s final dumping margin for May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024 from 5.78 percent to 5.27 percent. This amendment is effective June 24, 2026 and will be the basis for assessing antidumping duties for that period.
Cash Deposit Rate Set at 5.27% for Industeel
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after publication (June 24, 2026), the cash deposit rate for Industeel will equal the amended weighted-average dumping margin of 5.27 percent. The all-others rate remains 5.40 percent as established in the investigation.
Timing of Duty Assessment Instructions
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication of the amended final results (publication June 24, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, Commerce will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction request period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
Automatic Assessment for Unreviewed Entries
Commerce will apply its automatic assessment policy to entries during the review period produced by Industeel for which Industeel did not know the merchandise it sold to an intermediary was destined for the United States; in such cases, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company. The all-others rate is 5.40 percent.
