ITC Determines US Industry Materially Injured by Algeria Rebar Imports
Summary
The United States International Trade Commission has issued an affirmative final determination in Investigation No. 731-TA-1751 (Final), finding that the domestic steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) industry is materially injured by reason of imports from Algeria sold at less than fair value (LTFV). The petition was filed by the Rebar Trade Action Coalition of Washington, DC, and Commerce had previously made an affirmative preliminary LTFV determination. The Commission conducted a public hearing on March 3, 2026, and filed its determination on April 17, 2026. This affirmative injury determination, pursuant to Section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, clears the path for Commerce to issue antidumping duty orders on Algerian rebar.

What changed
The Commission issued its final affirmative material injury determination under Section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, finding that imports of steel concrete reinforcing bar from Algeria — classified under HTS subheadings 7213.10.00, 7214.20.00, and 7228.30.80 — caused material injury to the domestic industry. This determination follows Commerce's affirmative preliminary finding that these imports were sold at LTFV.\n\nImporters of Algerian rebar and downstream construction-sector buyers should anticipate the imposition of antidumping duties. Unlike preliminary determinations, the final Commission determination is binding and triggers Commerce's authority to issue antidumping duty orders covering retroactive deposits and potential assessment of duties on entries dating to the preliminary determination period.
