USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Temporary Steel Fencing from China

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of temporary steel fencing from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of temporary steel fencing from China, with its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about June 24, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on April 10, 2025.

The Commission’s public report, Temporary Steel Fencing from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-754 and 731-TA-1732 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5597, March 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by April 7, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
