Following its review covering the period from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024, the Department determined that the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for POSCO was zero or de minimis.
This decision means that POSCO will not be subject to anti-dumping duties on the products in question in the United States, effectively resolving the trade dispute for the latest review period. The development strengthens POSCO’s fair pricing position in the U.S. market and supports its competitive standing.
During the review process, the Department of Commerce published its Preliminary Results in the Federal Register on August 4, 2024, and invited comments from interested parties. In September 2025, POSCO requested a public hearing but later withdrew the request and submitted its case brief. No other parties submitted case or rebuttal briefs. Due to the U.S. government shutdown and funding interruptions, the Department extended the review deadlines twice, by 47 and 21 days, respectively. The final results were announced as of March 10, 2026.
The Department defined the scope of the products as hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel wire rods in coils, of approximately round cross-section and with a diameter of less than 19 mm. Based on the review of the preliminary results and comments received from POSCO, minor adjustments were made to the dumping margin.
The Department also provided instructions for cases where POSCO was unaware that the products were destined for the United States. According to the final determination, no anti-dumping duties will be applied to all eligible entries of POSCO’s products, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will liquidate these entries without duties.
