The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued the final results of the expedited first sunset reviews of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates, determining that revocation of the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping.

Weighted-average dumping margins likely to prevail if the orders were revoked are up to 60.40 percent for Argentina, 86.09 percent for Colombia, 29.72 percent for Egypt, 72.28 percent for Indonesia, 19.26 percent for Italy, 26.95 percent for Malaysia, 30.86 percent for the Netherlands, 194.40 percent for Saudi Arabia, 155.10 percent for South Africa, 14.75 percent for Spain, 23.89 percent for Taiwan, 30.58 percent for Tunisia, 53.65 percent for Turkey, 19.30 percent for Ukraine, and 170.65 percent for the UAE.

The AD orders were originally issued on February 1, 2021, for Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE, and on June 4, 2021, for Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine.
