The US Department of Commerce has issued anti-dumping duty orders on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Egypt, Bulgaria and Vietnam, following affirmative final determinations by Commerce and the US International Trade Commission (ITC). The orders became applicable on September 18, 2026.
Commerce’s final determinations set weighted-average dumping margins of 34.20 pct for the Ezz Steel group and all other Egyptian exporters, and 52.73 pct for El Marakby Steel and Suez Steel. For Bulgaria and Vietnam, the final margins were 53.27 pct for Bulgaria’s Promet Steel and 128.53 pct for the participating Hoa Phat companies in Vietnam, while the Vietnam-wide entity received 136.57 pct.
The ITC determined on September 11 that the US industry was materially injured by dumped imports from the three countries. Commerce will therefore direct US Customs and Border Protection to assess anti-dumping duties on relevant unliquidated entries, with cash deposits based on the applicable dumping margins.
The orders cover rebar in straight lengths or coils, regardless of metallurgy, length, diameter or grade. Plain rounds and smooth rebar are excluded. The provisional measures period ended on September 8. Consequently, entries from September 9 until publication of the ITC’s final injury determination are not subject to anti-dumping duties; suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits will resume from publication of the final determination.
