Mexico Steel Wire Rods Hit With Continued U.S. Duties
Published Date: 7/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Mexican companies Deacero and Deacero Summit sold certain steel wire rods in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from October 2023 to September 2024. Because of this, they’ll face extra duties (taxes) to level the playing field for American steel makers. These changes kick in starting July 6, 2026, and could affect prices and trade between the U.S. and Mexico.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Deacero Assigned 14.67% Duty
The Department of Commerce found that Deacero and Deacero Summit had a weighted-average dumping margin of 14.67% for merchandise sold to the U.S. during October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. That 14.67% margin will be used in the final results published July 6, 2026 and applies when assessing antidumping duties on their entries.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective July 6, 2026
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (July 6, 2026), importers must post cash deposits equal to the final weighted-average dumping margins. The notice also states the 'all other' cash deposit rate will remain 20.11 percent.
Importer Certificate Requirement; Double Duties Risk
Importers must file a certificate about 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 that certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Assessment Timing and Liquidation Rule
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties based on these final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 41 days after publication. If Deacero-produced merchandise entered the U.S. via an intermediary for which there is no rate, unreviewed entries will be liquidated at the all-others rate.
