The U.S. Negative Injury Ruling on Galvanized Steel Wires from China & Mexico

On April 23, 2012, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced its final antidumping and anti-subsidy rulings on the galvanized steel wires from China and Mexico, which determine that the allegedly dumped and subsidized products pose neither material injury nor threat with material injury to the U.S. local industry.

Upon the ITC's negative ruling, the U.S. Department of Commerce will not issue the double-anti duty orders on those imports.

On April 20, 2011, the Department launched the antidumping investigation under HS Codes 72172030, 72172045, 72172030.00, 72172045.10, 72172045.20, 72172045.30, 72172045.40, 72172045.50, 72172045.60, 72172045.70, 72172045.80, 72292000.15, 72299050.08, 72299050.16, 72299050.31, 72299050.51.

On March 26, 2012, the Department finally ruled antidumping duties 194.00%-235.00% and anti-subsidy duties 19.06%-223.27% on Chinese enterprises involved.
