U.S. Sets New Duties on Turkish Steel Rebar Imports
Published Date: 7/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) from Türkiye received unfair government help during 2023. Because of this, extra duties (taxes) will apply starting July 1, 2026, affecting importers and sellers of this rebar. This move aims to keep the playing field fair for U.S. businesses and could impact prices and trade.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.
Countervailing Duties Start July 1, 2026
If you import or sell steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Türkiye, extra countervailing duties will apply beginning July 1, 2026. The Department of Commerce determined subsidies were provided for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and duties tied to that finding will affect imports and sellers of this rebar.
Immediate Cash Deposit Collection Upon Publication
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amount shown for Colakoglu on shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date of publication of these final results. These cash deposits take effect upon publication and will remain in effect until further notice. For non‑reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate.
Colakoglu Subsidy Rate Set at 1.26%
Commerce determined a total net countervailable subsidy rate of 1.26 percent ad valorem for Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. That 1.26% rate will be used to assess duties on entries of Colakoglu's subject merchandise.
Assessment and Liquidation Timing Rules
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the period for filing a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Intended Effect: Level Playing Field; Price/Trade Effects
The Department of Commerce says this action aims to keep the playing field fair for U.S. businesses and notes it could impact prices and trade. U.S. businesses competing with Turkish rebar exporters may be the intended beneficiaries, while prices and trade flows could change as a result.
