Commerce Finds Unfair Steel Rod Prices From India
Published Date: 7/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some steel threaded rods from India were sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between April 2024 and March 2025. They’re stopping the review for a few companies that didn’t have any sales or withdrew their requests. This could mean changes in duties and costs for importers and sellers soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.
Importers May Be Assessed Duties
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries covered by this review when final results are issued. If a respondent's final weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., at least 0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on examined sales. Assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments
For shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, the cash deposit rate will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results unless that rate is less than 0.50 percent (de minimis), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero. Other rules govern producers/exporters not covered in this review and the all-others rate (0.00 percent).
Preliminary Dumping Rates Announced
For the period April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, Commerce preliminarily assigned a 0.00 percent weighted-average dumping margin to Nishant Steel Industries and 1.69 percent to Shree Luxmi Fasteners/The Emerging Impex. Commerce preliminarily applied a 1.69 percent review-specific rate to the unexamined companies.
Review Rescinded for Four Named Firms
Commerce preliminarily rescinded the administrative review for three companies with no suspended entries during the period (Concept Fasteners; Daksh Fasteners; J.D. Fasteners) and for Bee Dee Cycle Industries because it timely withdrew its review request. For those rescinded companies, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry during the period of review.
Special Liquidation Rule for Certain Entries
For entries produced by Nishant or SLF/TEI where those companies did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate established in the original investigation (0.00 percent) if there is no rate for intermediate companies involved in the transaction.
