USITC Votes to Continue Investigation on Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of steel concrete reinforcing bar from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam.
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 steel concrete reinforcing bar from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about November 12, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about August 28, 2025.
The Commission’s public report, of Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-768 - 770 and 731-TA-1751-1754 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5653, July 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.
The report will be available by August 25, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
