The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has announced that it has again amended the order and the final determination regarding its antidumping investigation on imports of reinforcing bars from Turkey, on the grounds that the final determination was not in harmony with the United States Court of International Trade (CIT).

Accordingly, the DOC has determined the following new dumping margins:

• HABAS – 3.96 percent
• ICDAS – 4.17 percent
• All others – 4.07 percent

In May 2017, the DOC announced its final determination in the antidumping investigation covering the period between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016, determining dumping margins of 5.39 percent for HABAS 8.17 percent for ICDAS and 6.94 percent for all others. After HABAS and ICDAS appealed the decision, the CIT remanded the DOC’s decision and requested the DOC to recalculate the dumping margins. In July 2017, the DOC amended its antidumping order regarding its antidumping investigation on imports of reinforcing bars from Turkey.
