The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued final affirmative determinations in its antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations covering imports of steel rebar from Egypt. In the AD investigation, the DOC determined a 34.20pct dumping margin for the Ezz group, including Ezz Steel and its affiliated companies.
El Marakby Steel and Suez Steel Company were assigned a 52.73pct margin, while the rate for all other Egyptian exporters was set at 34.20pct. The CVD investigation resulted in a 23.27pct countervailable subsidy rate for the Ezz group and all other Egyptian exporters.
The investigations cover rebar classified under US HTSUS codes 7213.10.0000, 7214.20.0000 and 7228.30.8010. The investigations were initiated in June 2025 following a petition by the Rebar Trade Action Coalition. The final determinations were published on July 30, 2026.
The measures will become AD and CVD orders if the US International Trade Commission (ITC) makes a final affirmative determination that Egyptian rebar imports have injured or threaten to injure the US industry.
