Shutdowns delay brass rod dumping probe from Korea
Published Date: 9/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that two South Korean companies, Booyoung Industry and Daechang, sold brass rods in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from December 2023 to May 2025. This means they might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field. The review deadline got pushed back a few times due to government shutdowns, with results now expected soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
Commerce preliminarily found Booyoung Industry sold brass rod in the U.S. at a 9.28% dumping margin and Daechang (with Seowon and IMI as a single entity) at a 5.22% margin for sales during December 1, 2023 through May 31, 2025. These preliminary margins mean those exporters may have to pay extra duties on affected entries if the final results confirm these rates.
How Antidumping Duties Will Be Assessed
If the final results keep non-de minimis margins, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries using importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of dumping to entered value. Commerce says it will not liquidate relevant entries until at least 35 days after publication of the final results, and entries may be held up to 90 days if a timely summons is filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Cash Deposit Rates Set After Final Results
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this review, cash deposit rates will be the rates established in those final results for the listed companies; if a rate is less than 0.50 percent it will be treated as zero. For producers/exporters not covered by this review, previously published company-specific rates remain, and for all other producers or exporters the all-others rate remains 6.94 percent.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties before liquidation of the relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
