Summary: The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have jointly decided to maintain the antidumping duty orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from various countries, including Belarus, Italy, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The decision stems from assessments that the revocation of these orders could result in a resurgence of dumping and material harm to the U.S. industry. As a result, the existing antidumping measures will remain in effect.Article: In a recent development, the U.S. Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the International Trade Commission (ITC), has issued a notice regarding the continuation of antidumping duty (AD) orders concerning carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod. The announcement emphasizes the necessity of maintaining these orders to curb the potential recurrence of dumping and to safeguard the domestic industry against material injury.The decision to uphold the AD orders follows a series of evaluations carried out by both Commerce and the ITC. The assessment considered the possible ramifications of revoking the AD orders for steel wire rod originating from Belarus, Italy, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, the Republic of South Africa, Spain, the Republic of Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.The AD orders were initially established on January 24, 2018, for some countries, and subsequently expanded to include additional nations like Italy, Korea, and the United Kingdom on May 21, 2018. Following this, a comprehensive review was initiated by Commerce and the ITC on December 1, 2022, as part of the sunset review process outlined in the Tariff Act of 1930.The culmination of these reviews led to the affirmation that the revocation of the AD orders could potentially result in a resurgence of dumping activities and pose a significant threat to industries within the United States. The ITC's recent determinations have underscored the likelihood of material injury to domestic industries if these measures are lifted.The scope of the AD orders pertains to specific hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel products, characterized by their round cross-section and solid diameter of less than 19.00 mm. The orders exclude products such as stainless steel, tool steel, and high-nickel steel, among others. The orders will continue to be implemented through U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which will collect antidumping duty cash deposits for imports of the subject merchandise.Conclusion: In a move aimed at protecting the interests of the domestic industry, the decision to prolong the antidumping duty orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod underscores the significance of fair trade practices and maintaining equilibrium in the global trade landscape. This determination not only demonstrates the commitment of relevant authorities but also the necessity of safeguarding industries against the adverse effects of dumping.
