Tariffs on Mexican Steel Mesh Extended Five More Years
Published Date: 7/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the extra taxes (countervailing duties) on steel welded wire mesh from Mexico because removing them could let unfair subsidies sneak back in. This means U.S. steel makers like Keysteel and others stay protected starting July 1, 2026. So, importers will keep paying these duties, helping American companies compete fairly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Deacero Subject to 102.10% Duty
Commerce determined that Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. would face a net countervailable subsidy rate of 102.10 percent ad valorem if the order were revoked. This large rate would effectively raise the cost of imports from Deacero.
Duties Stay On Mexican Wire Mesh
The Department of Commerce decided to keep the countervailing duties on standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico in place starting July 1, 2026. That means importers of this product will continue to pay those duties rather than having them removed.
U.S. Wire Mesh Makers Protected
Commerce found that keeping the duties will help U.S. producers like Keysteel Corporation, Mid-South Wire Company, National Wire LLC, Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co., and Wire Mesh Corp compete fairly against imports from Mexico. The decision supports those domestic producers starting July 1, 2026.
Aceromex and All Others at 1.03% Duty
Commerce determined that Aceromex S.A. De C.V. and the 'All Others' category would face a net countervailable subsidy rate of 1.03 percent ad valorem. Importers of those products will continue to pay duties at that rate starting July 1, 2026.
