Published Date: 10/26/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government is keeping special taxes on steel wire mesh from Mexico because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These taxes help stop unfair pricing and unfair government help from Mexico. This decision started on September 23, 2026, and means importers will keep paying extra fees to protect U.S. steel makers.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Duties continue on Mexican welded wire mesh
The antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico remain in effect as of September 23, 2026. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of the subject merchandise.
Galvanized and epoxy-coated mesh excluded
Welded wire mesh that is galvanized (zinc-coated) or coated with an epoxy coating is excluded from the orders if it meets the zinc coating thickness requirements of ASTM A641/A641M or is epoxy-coated as described. Such excluded galvanized or epoxy-coated products are not within the scope of the AD/CVD orders.
Foreign-spec and proprietary mesh remain covered
Welded wire mesh made to ASTM A1064/A1064M, to comparable foreign specifications (for example, DIN or JIS), or to proprietary specifications is included in the scope of the orders. Such products continue to be subject to the AD and CVD orders on standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico.
