This explainer covers the U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China, identified by Commerce case number A-570-895. This is an antidumping order only; no countervailing (CVD) case number is provided here. Importers of steel wire rod of Chinese origin should review whether their goods may fall within its scope.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•Hot-rolled carbon steel wire rod in coils that may include standard commodity grades
•Certain alloy steel wire rod supplied in irregularly wound coils
•Wire rod of approximately round cross-section that may be within the covered diameter range
•Low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel wire rod used for drawing into wire
•Wire rod intended for fasteners, nails, or general wire manufacturing
•Wire rod that may include certain grades with added alloying elements as described by scope

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Finished drawn wire and downstream wire products
?Stainless steel wire rod
?Tool steel or certain specialty alloy grades that may be excluded by scope
?Grade 1080 tire cord and tire bead quality wire rod, where excluded by scope
?Free-machining steel rod containing certain specified elements, where excluded
?Wire rod outside the diameter or chemistry ranges described in the written scope

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and unfinished, unassembled, or further-processed items may still fall within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and manufacturers bringing in hot-rolled steel wire rod in coils of Chinese origin, particularly commodity carbon and certain alloy grades used for drawing into wire, fasteners, or nails.

What the duty means

AD duties are collected as a cash deposit at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be very high. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order is identified here, so AD deposits may apply; no CVD case number was provided.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm it matches the product's true form and grade.
☐Collect product photos, mill certificates, and spec sheets showing diameter, chemistry, and coil form.
☐Document the material composition, including carbon content and any alloying elements.
☐Identify the intended use, such as drawing into wire, fasteners, or nails.
☐Obtain country-of-origin support, including mill and melt-and-pour documentation.
☐Record the manufacturer and exporter names and verify the specific producer/exporter combination.
☐Confirm the HTS classification with a licensed customs broker as a screening step only.
☐Consult a licensed broker or trade counsel to confirm scope rather than relying only on supplier statements.
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.

Risks to watch

⚠Possible circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Exposure to scope inquiries where product form or grade is ambiguous.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and an incorrect cash-deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration penalties, including duties and fines, for failure to declare subject merchandise.

The same product may be subject to separate orders in other countries — for example, related steel wire rod cases involving Trinidad and Tobago — so importers should review each origin on its own facts without seeking to evade duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China?

There is an antidumping (AD) duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China under Commerce case number A-570-895. Whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, which importers should verify.

Are parts or unassembled steel wire rod covered?

Wire rod in various forms and further-processed or unfinished items may still fall within scope depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are commodity hot-rolled carbon or certain alloy steel wire rod in coils of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for specialty grades, excluded chemistries, further-processed wire, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China may be covered by AD case A-570-895; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.
