Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special duties on steel wire mesh from Mexico because removing them could hurt American businesses. This means companies in the U.S. making this steel mesh stay protected from cheaper imports. The decision was finalized in September 2026 and signals ongoing financial safeguards for the industry.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Remain
The International Trade Commission decided to keep the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty orders on standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico. The Commission completed and filed this determination on September 21, 2026, finding that removing the orders would likely cause material injury to a U.S. industry.
Mexican Exporters Remain Covered by Orders
Producers or exporters in Mexico of standard steel welded wire mesh remain subject to the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty orders following the Commission's September 21, 2026 determination. The Commission concluded that revoking the orders would likely lead to material injury to a U.S. industry.
Importers Still Subject to Duties
If you import standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico, the existing antidumping and countervailing duties will remain in place as of the Commission's September 21, 2026 determination. Importing businesses will continue to operate under the current duty orders rather than seeing those orders revoked.
