The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted expedited sunset reviews on antidumping duty orders for carbon and alloy steel threaded rods from India, Taiwan, and Thailand. These reviews determined that revoking the orders would likely cause dumping to continue or reoccur, with potential dumping margins up to 28.34% for India, 32.26% for Taiwan, and 20.83% for Thailand. The reviews included input from domestic interested parties but no significant responses from importers or foreign producers were received. Commerce's findings are detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is publicly accessible online.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if taking away extra taxes on certain steel rods from India, Taiwan, and Thailand would lead to unfairly cheap prices again. They found that without these taxes, these countries might start charging very low prices, which isn't fair to U.S. businesses.
