Vietnam Steel Rebar Dumped Cheap, Faces New US Duties Now
Published Date: 7/30/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided that steel concrete reinforcing bars from Vietnam are being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair value. This means importers will face new duties starting July 30, 2026, to level the playing field for American businesses. If you buy or sell this steel rebar, get ready for some changes that could affect prices and trade.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Final dumping rates set for Vietnam rebar
Commerce found rebar from Vietnam is sold in the U.S. at less than fair value and assigned estimated weighted-average dumping margins of 128.53 percent for the Hoa Phat entity and 136.57 percent for the Vietnam-wide entity. The notice also shows corresponding cash-deposit percentages of 123.49 percent (Hoa Phat) and 131.53 percent (Vietnam-wide).
CBP suspension and cash-deposit instructions
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue to suspend liquidation and to require cash deposits for entries of Vietnamese rebar entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after March 13, 2026. Cash-deposit instructions follow the table in the notice: listed producer/exporter combinations pay their listed cash-deposit rate, producers/exporters without separate rates pay the Vietnam-wide rate, and third-country exporters pay the rate of their Vietnam supplier or the Vietnam-wide rate.
ITC injury decision and possible duties
Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission, which must decide within 45 days whether U.S. industry is materially injured. If the ITC finds no injury, the proceeding will end and all cash deposits will be refunded; if the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess duties on imports entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.
Export-subsidy adjustment not applied now
Although Commerce adjusted the estimated dumping margins for export subsidies found in a companion countervailing duty proceeding, it is not instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based on the adjusted margins for export subsidies at this time because provisional measures in the companion CVD case were discontinued. That means current cash-deposit instructions do not reflect an export-subsidy adjustment.
