Commerce slaps preliminary duties on some Turkish steel rebar imports
Published Date: 10/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some steel rebar from Türkiye was sold at unfairly low prices between July 2024 and June 2025. They’re stopping the review for three companies but continuing with others, which could affect duties and costs soon. This decision kicks in starting October 5, 2026, and folks involved should get ready for possible changes in import fees.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary 13.11% Dumping Margin
If you import steel rebar from Colakoglu Metalurji A.S./Colakoglu Dis Ticaret A.S. or Ekinciler Demir ve Celik Sanayi A.S., Commerce preliminarily determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 13.11% for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. This preliminary result is part of the review published with an applicability date of October 5, 2026.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation of entries for the review period. If you fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Rescission for Three Turkish Suppliers
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S.; Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim A.S.; and Kaptan Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S. (and Kaptan Metal Dis Ticaret ve Nakliyat A.S.) because there were no suspended entries during July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. For these companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of each entry; rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication.
Cash Deposit Rule and 3.90% All-Others Rate
Commerce states that cash deposit requirements for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this review will be set by the final results; the all-others rate from the original investigation remains 3.90%. This affects deposit obligations for future imports of subject rebar.
