Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD)

Antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) are tariffs levied on imported merchandise sold in the U.S. at artificially low or subsidized prices, to level the playing field for U.S. companies. Antidumping duties result from a foreign industry selling its products at lower than the price it sells goods in its home country to gain a competitive edge. Countervailing duties result from subsidies from a foreign government to specific industries or products to gain a competitive advantage abroad. A U.S. company may petition the International Trade Commission (ITC) and Commerce Department to determine whether the goods subject to the petition were sold for less than fair value or benefited from unfair subsidization. If Commerce finds evidence of subsidization or dumping, and the ITC finds it caused injury to a domestic industry, they will direct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of the relevant goods and begin collecting AD/CVD on those entries.

South Korea Steel CTL Plate: Final Results of AD Admin Review
February 20, 2025 |AD/CV - Patent

The Commerce Department has published the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from South Korea (A-580-887). Commerce continued its preliminary results, finding that POSCO didn't make sales of subject merchandise at less than fair value, and kept in the final results the zero percent AD rate it had preliminarily assigned to the POSCO single entity, which includes its affiliated companies -- POSCO International Corporation, POSCO MS, and certain distributors and service centers (i.e., Taechang Steel Co., Ltd. and Winsteel Co., Ltd.) -- the only company under review.
