The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of steel concrete reinforcing bar from Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Egypt and Vietnam.
Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Peter-Anthony Pappas voted in the affirmative. Commissioners Bart Thanhauser and David Foley Jr. did not participate in the vote.
As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping orders on imports of this product from Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from Egypt and Vietnam.
The USITC’s public report, Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-769-770 and 731-TA-1752-1754 (Final), USITC Publication 5786, September 2026), will contain the views of the USITC and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available on the USITC website by October 9, 2026.
Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about the investigations can be found at the USITC’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
