Published Date: 10/26/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that a Spanish company, TYCSA, sold prestressed concrete steel wire strand in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from June 2024 to May 2025. Because of this, certain extra duties will apply to their imports starting October 26, 2026. This decision affects TYCSA and U.S. companies competing with them, ensuring fair trade and protecting American businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
TYCSA assigned 13.57% antidumping margin
Commerce found that Global Special Steel Products S.A.U. (TYCSA) sold prestressed concrete steel wire strand in the U.S. at less than normal value for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025 and determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 13.57 percent. This determination is applicable October 26, 2026 and will be used to assess antidumping duties on TYCSA's subject imports.
Cash deposit rate set at 13.57% for TYCSA
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date (October 26, 2026), the cash deposit rate for TYCSA will equal the final weighted-average dumping margin (13.57 percent). The all-others cash deposit rate remains 14.75 percent for producers/exporters not covered by this review.
Importers must certify reimbursement or risk doubled duties
Importers are required to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for this review period. If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess doubled antidumping duties.
Automatic assessment at 14.75% for certain unreviewed entries
Commerce will apply its automatic assessment practice to entries during the period of review produced by TYCSA for which TYCSA did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States; such unreviewed entries will be liquidated at the all-others rate of 14.75 percent if there is no rate for the intermediate company. Assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication.
Ruling intended to protect U.S. competing companies
The notice states that Commerce's decision affects TYCSA and U.S. companies competing with them and is intended to ensure fair trade and protect American businesses. The antidumping duties and related measures are published as a protective action for U.S. competitors.
