The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued antidumping duty (AD) orders on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Bulgaria, Egypt, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam).
The orders follow affirmative final determinations by the DOC and the US International Trade Commission (ITC), which determined that a US industry is materially injured by reason of dumped imports of rebar from the three countries.
For Bulgaria, the DOC determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 53.27 percent for Promet Steel JSC and all others.
For Egypt, the DOC determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 34.20 percent for the Ezz Steel group of companies and all others, and 52.73 percent for El Marakby Steel and Suez Steel Company, based on adverse facts available.
For Vietnam, the DOC determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 128.53 percent for the Hoa Phat group of companies, with a cash deposit rate of 123.49 percent after adjustment for export subsidy offsets, and a Vietnam-wide rate of 136.57 percent, based on adverse facts available.
