AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. will now charge antidumping duties on steel concrete reinforcing bar imported from Algeria after finding it was sold below fair value and harmed U.S. producers. Importers of covered rebar must pay cash deposits at a 127.32% rate for entries made on or after the effective date, and customs will assess duties on covered entries going back to December 19, 2025, with a brief gap period excluded. This mainly affects Algerian exporters, U.S. importers, customs brokers, and steel buyers that source rebar. Companies should check product scope carefully, update landed-cost pricing, and prepare for higher duty exposure on current and future shipments.
