Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar From Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated investigations into the importation of steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam. Allegations indicate these imports may be sold at less-than-fair value, potentially causing material injury to the U.S. rebar industry. The investigations will assess the viability of antidumping and countervailing duties to protect domestic producers.
