What changed

The ITA completed its administrative review of antidumping duty order A-580-891 covering carbon and alloy steel wire rod from Korea for the 2023-2024 period. The final determination found no dumping by the reviewed respondents, meaning no antidumping duties are owed for this period and potentially triggering refunds of any cash deposits.

Importers of Korean wire rod covered by this review should verify whether their entries during the review period are subject to these final results and may be eligible for duty refunds or reduction in cash deposit requirements. No immediate compliance action is required as this is a favorable determination for importers.

What to do next

Review antidumping duty entries for the 2023-2024 period to determine eligibility for duty refunds
Adjust cash deposit rates for future imports if applicable
Maintain documentation of review period entries for customs reconciliation

Department of Commerce

International Trade Administration

[A-580-891]

AGENCY:

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that POSCO and POSCO International Corporation (collectively, POSCO), a producer/exporter subject to this administrative review, did not make sales of carbon and alloy steel wire rod (wire rod) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) at less than normal value. The period of review (POR), May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024.

DATES:

Applicable April 7, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lingjun Wang, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2316.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 4, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results and invited comments from interested parties. [1 ] In September 2025, POSCO requested a public hearing and subsequently withdrew its request, [2 ] and filed a case brief. [3 ] No other party filed a case or rebuttal brief.

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [4 ] 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. [5 ] On February 3, 2026, we extended the final results of this review by 30 days. [6 ] Accordingly, the deadline for the final results is now March 10, 2026.

A summary of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [7 ] 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 accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised in the case brief are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that POSCO raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice.

Scope of the Order [8 ]

The product covered by the Order is certain hot-rolled products of carbon steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately round cross section, less than 19.00 mm in actual solid cross-sectional diameter. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [9 ]

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on a review of the record and comments received from POSCO regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain changes to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculated for POSCO. For a detailed discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of the Review

We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024: ( printed page 17631)

| Producer/exporter | Weighted-
average
dumping
margin
(percent) |
| --- | --- |
| POSCO/POSCO International Corporation 10 | 0.00 |

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results of review to interested parties within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties. [11 ] Accordingly, because the final weighted-average dumping margin for POSCO is de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by POSCO for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 41.10 percent) [12 ] if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. [13 ]

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for POSCO will be will be the rates established in these final results of the review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for previously-investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-other rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation (i.e., 41.10 percent). [14 ] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commer's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

Dated: March 30, 2026.

Christopher Abbott,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
