SUMMARY:

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Brazil, India, Mexico, the Republic of Korea (Korea), and Thailand would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Reviews” section of this notice.

DATES:

Applicable April 10, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David De Falco, Trade Agreements Policy and Negotiations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2178.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 28, 2004, Commerce published the Orders in the Federal Register. [1 ] On October 3, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of these fourth sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [2 ]

On October 20, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from the domestic interested ( printed page 18418) parties [3 ] within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). [4 ] The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers of the domestic like product. [5 ] On December 9, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties. [6 ]

On November 3, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i), domestic interested parties filed timely and adequate substantive responses. [7 ] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. On December 8, 2025, Commerce notified the ITC that it did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested parties. [8 ] As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders.

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [9 ] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days. [10 ] Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now April 7, 2026.

Scope of the Orders

The product covered by these Orders is PC strand from Brazil, India, Mexico, Korea, and Thailand. For the full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues and Decisions Memorandum. [11 ]

Analysis of Comments Received

A complete discussion of all issues raised in these sunset reviews, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation of the Orders and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Orders were to be revoked, is provided in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. [12 ] A list of the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached in the Appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be directly accessed at https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Final Results of Sunset Reviews

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 118.75 percent for Brazil, 102.07 percent for India, 77.20 percent for Mexico, 54.19 percent for Korea, and 12.91 percent for Thailand.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
