What changed
The USITC issued its final affirmative injury determination in antidumping and countervailing duty investigations concerning temporary steel fencing from China. The Commission determined that the U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the Chinese government. Commissioners Karpel, Kearns, and Johanson voted affirmatively.
Importers and distributors of temporary steel fencing from China will now face antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders issued by Commerce. These duties will increase the cost of affected imports and may require changes to procurement strategies and pricing. Companies should prepare for duty deposits and review customs compliance procedures.
What to do next
- Prepare for antidumping and countervailing duty deposits on Chinese temporary steel fencing imports
- Review supply chains for affected products and assess cost impacts
- Consult trade counsel regarding duty order compliance requirements
Penalties
Importers will be required to pay antidumping duties (offsetting below-fair-value pricing) and countervailing duties (offsetting foreign government subsidies) on temporary steel fencing from China.
