Steel Rebar from Mexico and Turkey Five-Year Sunset Review Determinations
Summary
The US International Trade Commission determined on April 3, 2026, that revocation of the countervailing duty order on steel rebar from Turkey and the antidumping duty order on steel rebar from Mexico would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the US industry. The Commission conducted expedited five-year (section 751(c)) sunset reviews and determined these trade remedy orders must remain in place for another review cycle.
What changed
The ITC completed its five-year sunset reviews of the countervailing duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Turkey (Investigation 701-TA-502) and the antidumping duty order on steel rebar from Mexico (Investigation 731-TA-1227). The Commission determined that revocation of these orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the US industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.\n\nUS importers and foreign producers/exporters of steel rebar from Mexico and Turkey will continue to be subject to these trade remedy duties. The orders will be subject to another five-year review before further action can be taken. The ITC's determination maintains the status quo for the US steel rebar market, protecting domestic producers from foreign imports priced below fair value.
What to do next
- Monitor compliance with existing countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on steel rebar
- Ensure proper duty payment procedures for affected imports
- Review supply chain arrangements for Mexico and Turkey-origin steel rebar
