The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) today affirmed the US Department of Commerce’s (DOC) final determinations in the investigation of imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Vice Chairman David S. Johanson, and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson and Meredith M. Broadbent voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the ITC’s affirmative determinations, the DOC will issue antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from Belarus, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. Final antidumping duties were 280.02 percent for Belarus, 436.80-756.93 percent for Russia, and 84.10 percent for UAE.
The ITC also made a negative finding concerning critical circumstances with regard to imports of this product from Russia. As a result, imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Russia will not be subject to retroactive antidumping duties.
