Preliminary CVDs set in rebar trade case
Written by Laura Miller
The Commerce Department has released preliminary countervailable subsidy rates in the ongoing rebar trade case.
The agency set a preliminary subsidy rate of 72.94% for producer Tosyali Iron Steel Industry Algeria. The rate for all other Algerian producers and exporters was set at the same amount.
For Egypt, Commerce found an initial 29.51% ad valorem subsidy rate for the Ezz group of companies. It assigned the same rate to all other Egyptian companies.
The preliminary CVD rate for producer Hoa Phat Group Joint Stock Co. and all other Vietnamese companies was set at just 1.08%.
In the dumping investigations, which include the three above countries as well as Bulgaria, Commerce obliged the petitioner’s request to postpone the issuance of initial rate determinations. It will now issue them by March 9.
Commerce will hold a hearing for the final phase of this investigation on March 3. It also chose to align its release of final anti-dumping and countervailing duty margins. The date for final margins is now set for May 26.
The petitioner in this case is the Rebar Trade Action Coalition (RTAC), made up of Nucor, Steel Dynamics Inc., CMC, Gerdau, Byer Steel, and Optimus Steel.
