Duties on Chinese Steel Threaded Rods Made Permanent
Published Date: 7/17/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Chinese companies sold alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rods in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from April 2024 to March 2025. Because of this, extra duties will apply to these imports starting July 17, 2026, helping protect American businesses. No changes were made after the review, so the initial findings stand firm and final.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash deposit and China‑wide rates
Upon publication, cash deposit requirements take effect for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after July 17, 2026: a 0.74 percent deposit for the named separate‑rate companies and a 48.91 percent rate for exporters subject to the China‑wide entity. Non‑Chinese exporters without their own rate will be assigned the rate of their Chinese supplier.
Reimbursement certificate and double‑duty risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Unreported entries subject to China‑wide rate
Entries that were not reported in the Jinding Single Entity's U.S. sales data but entered under that entity's case number will be liquidated at the China‑wide entity rate of 48.91 percent.
Final antidumping margins set
Commerce found that Chinese exporters sold alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod in the U.S. below normal value for April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, and set a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.74 percent for the Jinding Single Entity. This determination is final and applies as of July 17, 2026.
Timing of assessment and liquidation
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries; assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
