(CVD) orders on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from Mexico and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 6, 2014, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD and CVD orders on rebar from Mexico and T[uuml]rkiye.\1\ On
September 2, 2025, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\
the second sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its
reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable
subsidies, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the
Orders be revoked.\4\

On April 8, 2026, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to

an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.\5\

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to these Orders is steel concrete

merchandise is classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) primarily under item numbers 7213.10.0000,
7214.20.0000, and 7228.30.8010.
The subject merchandise may also enter under other HTSUS numbers
including 7215.90.1000, 7215.90.5000, 7221.00.0017, 7221.00.0018,

mark, size or grade) and without being subject to an elongation test.
HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the scope remains dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders

revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury
to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Orders. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash
deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be April
8, 2026.\6\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
