Commerce launches probe into unfairly traded rebar imports

The US government is moving on trade petitions filed earlier this month by a coalition of domestic steel producers. The Department of Commerce has officially initiated unfair trade investigations into rebar imports from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam.

The Rebar Trade Action Coalition (RTAC) filed the petitions on June 4. They asked for relief from allegedly dumped and subsidized rebar imports in the form of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVDs).
