USITC Rejects Tariffs on Threaded Rod From India

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that a U.S. industry is neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain steel threaded rod from India that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.

As a result of the USITC’s negative determinations, no antidumping and countervailing duty orders will be issued.

The investigation defined certain steel threaded rod as carbon quality steel rod threaded along greater than 25 percent of its length, with a solid, circular cross section, of any diameter, in any straight length, and is forged, turned, cold-drawn, cold-rolled, machine straightened, or otherwise cold-finished.

The Commission’s public report Certain Steel Threaded Rod from India (Investigation Nos. 701- TA-498 and 731-TA-1213 (Final), USITC Publication 4487, August 2014) will contain the views of the Commissioners and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available after September 8, 2014.
