The Ministry announced that the review was initiated on May 1, 2025, and that participation notices were received from interested parties on May 16, 2025. Domestic producers such as Charter Steel, Commercial Metals Company, Liberty Steel USA, Nucor Corporation, and Optimus Steel LLC requested interested party status as producers of domestic like products.
During the review process, the Ministry of Commerce did not receive a substantive response from the Government of China or from other participating parties. Accordingly, an expedited (120-day) expiry review was conducted. The review evaluated the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of subsidization and the countervailable subsidy rates to be applied in the event of revocation.
According to the final results announced by the Ministry, the net countervailable subsidy rates to be applied to Chinese producers were determined as follows: Benxi Steel – 193.31%, Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. Tangshan Branch – 178.46%, and others – 185.89%.
