The US Department of Commerce (USDOC) announced that Mexican steel producers Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Deacero) and I.N.G.E.T.E.K.N.O.S. Estructurales, S.A. de C.V. (Ingetek) (collectively, Deacero Group) sold steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) in the US below fair market value. For the review period from November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024, the USDOC calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 8.45% for the group.

Additionally, the USDOC canceled reviews for Grupo Acerero, Grupo Simec, and Sidertul because customs data showed no shipments from the three companies during the period of review.

The USDOC expects to release the final administrative review results within 120 days of this notice. This upcoming report will include a detailed analysis of the issues raised by interested parties regarding the preliminary findings.
