Summary

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has published a notice scheduling expedited five-year reviews for prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand. These reviews will assess whether continued dumping or subsidization is likely to occur if existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders are terminated.

What changed

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a notice scheduling expedited five-year reviews concerning prestressed concrete steel wire strand imported from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand. These reviews, identified by Investigation Nos. 701-TA-432 and 731-TA-1024-1028 (Fourth Review) and AA1921-188 (Sixth Review), are conducted under the relevant trade laws to determine if the termination of existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidization.

Compliance officers for importers and exporters dealing with these products should note that these are scheduled reviews. While this notice itself does not impose new obligations, it signifies the ongoing process of trade remedy reviews. Companies involved in the trade of steel wire strand from these countries should be aware of the potential for existing trade remedy measures to be continued, amended, or terminated based on the outcomes of these reviews. Further information regarding participation or specific requirements will be detailed in subsequent USITC communications.

The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background. —On February 23, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (90 FR 47337, October 1, 2025) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. [1 ] Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). [2 ]

For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).

Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of these reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on April 29, 2026. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.

Written submissions. —As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the ( printed page 13610) notice of institution, [3 ] and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before May 6, 2026, and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by May 6, 2026. However, should the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/​documents/​handbook​on​filing_​procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.

In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.

Determination. —The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: March 18, 2026.

Lisa Barton,

Secretary to the Commission.
