WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration found countervailable subsidies benefiting Korean corrosion-resistant steel producers during 2023 administrative review.
ITA has issued final results of its countervailing duty administrative review covering corrosion-resistant steel products from South Korea, determining that producers and exporters received countervailable subsidies during the 2023 period of review and assigning final subsidy rates ranging from 1.28 percent to 5.34 percent.
The review covers entries made between Jan. 1 and Dec.31, 2023. ITA published its preliminary results on Jan. 8, 2026, and later extended the deadline for the final determination twice, first by 53 days on March 24, 2026, and then by an additional six days on June 30, 2026.
ITA said it revised portions of its preliminary findings after reviewing case briefs, rebuttal briefs and comments from interested parties. The agency changed the basis of its financial contribution determination involving the Korea Emissions Trading System permits program, concluded that KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. received countervailable benefits from debt-to-equity conversions completed in February 2015, May 2016 and April 2018, and incorporated a correction reported during verification into the company's subsidy calculations.
The review was conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930. ITA said it determined that the examined subsidy programs involved financial contributions by government authorities, conferred benefits on recipients and were specific under the statutory requirements governing countervailable subsidies.
ITA assigned Hyundai Steel Co. a final subsidy rate of 1.28 percent. KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., also identified as KG Steel Corporation, received a final subsidy rate of 5.34 percent.
Six non-individually examined companies received a review-specific weighted-average subsidy rate of 2.88 percent. They are POSCO, POSCO Coated & Color Steel Co., Ltd., POSCO International, POSCO Steeleon Co., Ltd., SeAH Coated Metal and SeAH Steel Corp.
ITA verified information submitted by Hyundai Steel during July 2025 and by KG Dongbu Steel during March 2026. The agency said verification included examinations of accounting records, sales documentation and original source materials supplied by the respondents.
ITA intends to disclose the calculations supporting the final results within five days after the public announcement or publication of the notice. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess countervailing duties on covered entries using the final subsidy rates. Assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results in the Federal Register. If a summons is filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade, liquidation of affected entries will be suspended until the statutory period for seeking an injunction expires.
The agency also said Customs will collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the final rates for reviewed companies on future shipments entered on or after publication of the final results. Companies not covered by the review will continue to be subject to their existing company-specific or all-others cash deposit rates until further notice.
The notice was signed by Christian L. Bush, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily determined countervailable subsidies were provided to Indian carbon and alloy steel threaded rod producers during 2024, rescinding part of the administrative review for five companies after withdrawal requests and inviting interested parties to comment before issuing final results.
The preliminary results, published in a notice effective July 13, 2026, cover carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from India during the period of review from Jan. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2024. ITA said thereview examines whether producers and exporters benefited from countervailable subsidies during the review period.
ITA initiated the administrative review on May 20, 2025, following timely requests for review under its regulations. The agency selected Nishant Steel Industries and Kanika Fasteners Pvt Ltd as mandatory respondents on July 15, 2025.
ITA later received timely withdrawal requests from Bee Dee Cycle Industries, Kanika Fasteners Pvt Ltd and Kanika Exports, Maharaja International and R K Fasteners on Aug. 1, 2025. Good Good Manufacturers also withdrew its request on Aug. 5, 2025. On Aug. 11, 2025, ITA announced its intent to rescind the review for those companies and suspended Kanika Fasteners' deadline for responding to the initial questionnaire.
The agency said the review schedule was affected by the Federal Government shutdown in late 2025. Deadlines in administrative proceedings were tolled by 47 days beginning Nov. 14, 2025, and by another 21 days beginning Nov. 24, 2025, because of a backlog of electronically filed documents submitted through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System, known as ACCESS. ITA also extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results on Feb. 19 and June 30, 2026.
ITA said it conducted the review under section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930. For each subsidy program examined, the agency preliminarily determined that a financial contribution by an authority provided a benefit to the recipient and that the subsidy met the statutory specificity requirements. A full explanation of the methodology is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum available through ACCESS.
As a result of the review, ITA preliminarily assigned Nishant Steel Industries a net countervailable subsidy rate of 2.54 percent ad valorem for the 2024 review period. The agency said Nishant Steel Industries is preliminarily considered cross-owned with Nuovo Fastenings Pvt. Ltd. for purposes of the review.
ITA also rescinded the administrative review for five companies after concluding all review requests covering those companies had been withdrawn within the period permitted by regulation. The companies are Bee Dee Cycle Industries, Good Good Manufacturers, Kanika Fasteners Pvt Ltd and Kanika Exports, Maharaja International and R K Fasteners.
The agency said it intends to disclose the calculations supporting the preliminary results within the time permitted by regulation. Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 21 days after publication of the notice, while rebuttal briefs may be filed within five days after the case brief deadline. Requests for a hearing must be submitted electronically through ACCESS within 30 days after publication.
Upon completion of the review, ITA said U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess countervailing duties on covered entries. For the companies whose reviews are being rescinded, CBP will assess duties at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry. For Nishant Steel Industries, ITA intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. The agency also said cash deposit requirements established in the final results will apply to future entries, while all other producers and exporters will continue to be subject to the 6.07 percent all-others subsidy rate established in the investigation.
Unless the deadline is extended, ITA said it intends to issue the final results within 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.
The notice was signed by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

ITA Finds Preliminary Subsidies for Turkish Aluminum Sheet Producers
WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Turkish aluminum sheet producers received countervailable subsidies during 2024, review shows.
ITA has preliminarily determined that producers and exporters of common alloy aluminum sheet from the Republic of Turkiye received countervailable subsidies during the 2024 administrative review period, setting preliminary subsidy rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.64% and inviting interested parties to comment before a final determination is issued.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Turkish aluminum sheet producers received countervailable subsidies during 2024, review shows.
ITA has preliminarily determined that producers and exporters of common alloy aluminum sheet from the Republic of Turkiye received countervailable subsidies during the 2024 administrative review period, setting preliminary subsidy rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.64% and inviting interested parties to comment before a final determination is issued.
The review covers entries made betweenJan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2024, under the countervailing duty order on aluminum sheet from Turkiye. ITA initiated the review on June 25, 2025, after receiving timely requests and selected Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. as mandatory respondents. The agency said multiple deadline extensions resulted from a prior tolling order, the federal government shutdown and subsequent filing backlogs, pushing the preliminary results to July 7, 2026.
ITA said it conducted the review under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether subsidy programs provided financial contributions, conferred benefits on recipients and were specific enough to qualify as countervailable.
The preliminary results assign a subsidy rate of 2.64% to Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and its cross-owned companies, Kibar Holding A.S. and Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. and its cross-owned company TAC Metal Ticaret A.S. received a preliminary subsidy rate of 2.47%.
For the two non-selected companies, ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and P.M.S. Metal Profil Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., ITA assigned a preliminary rate of 2.56%. The agency said it calculated that figure by taking the simple average of the subsidy rates for the two mandatory respondents because public ranged data needed to calculate a weighted average were not yet available. ITA said it intends to obtain that information before issuing the final results.
ITA also announced that it intends to verify information submitted by the respondents before reaching its final determination.
Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than seven days after the final verification report is issued, with rebuttal briefs due five days later. Hearing requests must be filed electronically through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System within 30 days after publication of the preliminary results.
If the review is completed as scheduled, ITA expects to issue final results within 120 days after publication of the preliminary findings in the Federal Register. Following the final determination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection would assess countervailing duties on covered entries and begin collecting revised cash deposits based on the final company-specific subsidy rates. Until then, the current all-others countervailing duty cash deposit rate of 3.45% remains in effect for producers and exporters not assigned company-specific rates in this review.
Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, signed the notice.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Bahrain aluminum sheet producer, Askar, received countervailable subsidies during 2024 review period.
ITA has preliminarily determined that Gulf Aluminum Rolling Mill B.S.C. received countervailable subsidies during its 2024 administrative review of common alloy aluminum sheet from Bahrain, assigning the producer and exporter a preliminary subsidy rate of 18.97 percent.
The review covers imports entered between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2024. ITA initiated the administrative reviewon May 20, 2025, following timely requests and selected Gulf Aluminum Rolling Mill B.S.C., commonly known as GARMCO, as the mandatory respondent.
The agency said the review schedule was affected by the Federal Government shutdown during late 2025, resulting in a 47-day tolling of administrative deadlines, followed by an additional 21-day extension because of a backlog of documents filed through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System, known as ACCESS. ITA later extended the deadline for the preliminary results by 113 days on February 9, 2026, and by another seven days on June 30, 2026, establishing July 7, 2026, as the deadline for the preliminary determination.
ITA conducted the review under section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930. The agency said it preliminarily found that subsidy programs under review involved financial contributions by government authorities that provided benefits to recipients and were specific under the statute. ITA also stated that its analysis relied in part on adverse facts available under sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act, as explained in the preliminary decision memorandum.
The preliminary decision memorandum also discusses Bahrain's economic diversification, subsidy valuation, benchmarks used to measure adequate remuneration, upstream subsidy analysis and the programs examined during the review.
ITA plans to disclose its calculations and analysis to interested parties within the time allowed under agency regulations. Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 21 days after publication of the notice in the Federal Register, while rebuttal briefs will be due five days after the case brief deadline. Requests for a hearing must be filed electronically through ACCESS within 30 days after publication.
If the preliminary findings are affirmed, ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties on entries covered by the review. Assessment instructions for GARMCO will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If litigation is filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade, liquidation of affected entries will be suspended until the statutory period for requesting an injunction expires.
ITA also said future cash deposit requirements established in the final results will apply to reviewed shipments, while the all-others subsidy rate will remain 6.44 percent for producers and exporters not assigned company-specific rates.
The notice was signed by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Turkish aluminum sheet exporters sold merchandise below normal value during administrative review.
ITA has preliminarily determined that some producers and exporters of common alloy aluminum sheet from the Republic of Turkiye sold merchandise in the U.S. at less than normal value during the antidumping duty administrative review covering April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Turkish aluminum sheet exporters sold merchandise below normal value during administrative review.
ITA has preliminarily determined that some producers and exporters of common alloy aluminum sheet from the Republic of Turkiye sold merchandise in the U.S. at less than normal value during the antidumping duty administrative review covering April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.
ITA assigned a preliminary weighted-average dumping margin of 26.45 percent to Teknik Aluminyum SanayiA.S., while Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. received a preliminary margin of 0.00 percent. The agency also assigned ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., which was not individually examined, the same 26.45 percent review-specific rate applied to Teknik. Interested parties have been invited to submit comments before the final results are issued.
The antidumping duty order on aluminum sheet from Turkiye was published on April 27, 2021. ITA announced an opportunity to request an administrative review on April 1, 2025, and initiated the current review on July 25, 2025, after receiving timely requests covering five producers and exporters.
ITA said the review schedule was affected by the Federal Government shutdown in late 2025. Administrative deadlines were tolled by 47 days beginning November 14, 2025, followed by an additional 21-day extension because of a backlog of documents filed through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System, known as ACCESS. The agency subsequently extended the preliminary results deadline on February 10, 2026, and again on June 26, 2026, making July 7, 2026, the revised deadline.
ITA conducted the review under section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Constructed export price was calculated under section 772(a) of the Act, while normal value was determined under section 773. The agency said its methodology, including affiliation, collapsing and currency conversion analyses, is described in the preliminary decision memorandum available through ACCESS.
Under ITA regulations, rates for companies not individually examined are generally based on the weighted-average margins calculated for individually reviewed respondents, excluding margins that are zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts available. Because Teknik was the only individually examined company receiving a margin above zero and above the de minimis threshold, ITA preliminarily assigned its 26.45 percent rate to ASAS.
ITA intends to disclose the calculations supporting the preliminary results within the time permitted under agency regulations. Interested parties may file case briefs within 21 days after publication of the notice in the Federal Register, while rebuttal briefs may be submitted within five days after the deadline for case briefs. Requests for a hearing must be filed electronically through ACCESS within 30 days after publication.
Following completion of the review, ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on covered entries based on the final results. If the final margins for Assan or Teknik remain above the de minimis threshold, importer-specific assessment rates will be calculated using the ratio of total dumping to entered value or quantity, depending on available data. Entries with zero or de minimis assessment rates will be liquidated without antidumping duties.
ITA also said its automatic assessment practice will apply to entries produced by Assan or Teknik when the companies did not know the merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such cases, Customs will liquidate entries at the all-others rate from the original investigation if no rate exists for the intermediary involved. ASAS will receive an assessment rate based on the review-specific margin assigned in these preliminary results.
Future cash deposit requirements established in the final results will apply to reviewed companies. Producers and exporters not covered by this review will continue to receive their previously established company-specific rates, while all other producers and exporters will remain subject to the all-others cash deposit rate of 4.85 percent.
Unless the deadline is extended, ITA intends to issue the final results within 120 days after publication of the preliminary determination.
The notice was signed by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily found Bahrain aluminum sheet producer sold merchandise below normal value during review.
ITA has preliminarily determined that Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C. (GARMCO), Al Asimah, Bahrain, sold common alloy aluminum sheet from the Kingdom of Bahrain in the U.S. at less than normal value during the antidumping duty administrative review covering April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.
ITA assigned GARMCO, the sole mandatory respondent in the review, a preliminary weighted-average dumpingmargin of 6.25 percent. Interested parties have been invited to comment before the agency issues its final determination.
The review began on May 20, 2025, after ITA initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on common alloy aluminum sheet from Bahrain following timely requests. On June 9, 2025, the agency selected GARMCO as the mandatory respondent.
ITA said the review schedule was affected by the Federal Government shutdown during late 2025. The agency tolled administrative deadlines by 47 days on November 14, 2025, and added another 21-day extension on November 24, 2025, because of a backlog of filings submitted through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System, known as ACCESS. ITA later extended the deadline for the preliminary results until June 30, 2026, and again until July 7, 2026.
The agency conducted the review under section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Export price was calculated under section 772 of the Act, while normal value was determined under section 773. ITA said the methodology used in reaching its preliminary findings is explained in the preliminary decision memorandum, which is available through ACCESS.
ITA plans to disclose the calculations supporting its preliminary findings to interested parties within the time allowed by agency regulations. Case briefs may be filed no later than 21 days after publication of the notice in the Federal Register, while rebuttal briefs will be accepted five days after the deadline for case briefs. Parties seeking a hearing must submit electronic requests through ACCESS within 30 days after publication.
If the preliminary determination is affirmed in the final results and GARMCO's dumping margin remains above the de minimis threshold of 0.50 percent, ITA intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of dumping to entered value or quantity, depending on available data. If importer-specific rates are zero or de minimis, the agency will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries without collecting antidumping duties.
ITA also said its automatic assessment practice will apply to entries sold through intermediaries when GARMCO did not know the merchandise was destined for the U.S. In those cases, Customs would liquidate entries at the all-others rate if no rate exists for the intermediary involved.
Future cash deposit requirements will take effect after publication of the final results. Companies not covered by the review will continue to be subject to previously established company-specific rates, while the all-others cash deposit rate will remain 4.83 percent.
Unless the review schedule is extended, ITA expects to issue its final results within 120 days after publication of the preliminary determination.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (TNSFR) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration preliminarily determined that Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., Seoul, South Korea, and Ningxia Huahui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., Yinchuan, sold activated carbon from China in the U.S. at less than normal value during the antidumping duty administrative review covering April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.
The agency also rescinded the review for Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd. after determining there were no reviewable suspended entries for that company duringthe period of review. The preliminary results, published by the Enforcement and Compliance unit, invite interested parties to submit comments before ITA issues its final determination.
ITA calculated preliminary weighted-average dumping margins of 0.83 U.S. dollars per kilogram for Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. and 0.86 U.S. dollars per kilogram for Ningxia Huahui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. The agency also assigned a 0.84 U.S. dollars per kilogram weighted-average dumping margin to 12 companies that qualified for separate-rate status but were not individually examined. ITA said the separate rate was based on the weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the two mandatory respondents.
The companies receiving the separate rate are Bengbu Modern Environmental Co., Ltd.; Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd.; Datong Hongdi Carbon Co., Ltd.; Datong Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jacobi International Trading Co., Ltd.; Jacobi Carbons AB; Jacobi Carbons Industry (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; Jacobi Adsorbent Materials (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Mineral & Chemical Limited; Shanxi Industry Technology Trading Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd.; Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Channel Filters Co., Ltd.
ITA said Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd. had no reviewable suspended entries during the review period and, after receiving no comments on its intent to rescind, preliminarily rescinded the review for that company. The agency also found that Ningxia Guanghua Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi DMD Corp.; Shanxi Tianxi Purification Filter Co., Ltd.; Sinoacarbon International Trading Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd. did not qualify for separate-rate status because they failed to timely submit the required filings. Those companies remain part of the China-wide entity, which continues to be subject to the existing antidumping duty rate of 2.42 U.S. dollars per kilogram.
ITA said China continues to be treated as a non-market economy under U.S. trade law, and it calculated normal value using the methodology in section 773(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. The agency does not intend to verify information submitted by the mandatory respondents during this review, despite a verification request submitted by petitioners Calgon Carbon Corporation and Norit Americas Inc.
Interested parties may submit case briefs within 21 days after publication of the preliminary results, with rebuttal briefs due five days later. Hearing requests must be filed electronically through the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System within 30 days after publication. If the preliminary findings remain unchanged in the final results, ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on applicable entries and establish cash deposit requirements based on the final rates. The notice was signed on July 7, 2026, by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
