This educational explainer covers the U.S. antidumping (AD) duty order on certain steel threaded rod from China under case number A-570-932. It is an AD order only; no countervailing duty case is listed here. Importers of similar carbon-quality steel threaded rod, bar, or studs should review whether their goods may fall within the 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)

•May include non-headed carbon-quality steel threaded rod threaded along more than 25% of its total length
•May include steel threaded bar or studs with a solid, circular cross section of any diameter
•May include threaded rod in any straight length that has been forged, turned, cold-drawn, or cold-finished
•May include zinc-coated (galvanized, electroplated or hot-dipped) threaded rod
•May include threaded rod with a plain oil finish as a temporary rust protectant
•May include painted or otherwise coated steel threaded rod meeting the chemistry limits
•May include steel threaded rod where iron predominates by weight and carbon content is 2% or less

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

?Threaded rod, bar, or studs threaded only on one or both ends where threading covers 25% or less of total length
?Threaded rod, bar, or studs made to ASTM A193 Grade B7
?Threaded rod, bar, or studs made to ASTM A193 Grade B7M
?Threaded rod, bar, or studs made to ASTM A193 Grade B16 or ASTM A320 Grade L7
?Products whose alloy chemistry exceeds the stated element limits may fall outside the described merchandise
?Headed fasteners are generally different products and may not match this non-headed scope

Scope control: The listed HTSUS subheadings (e.g., 7318.15.5050, 7318.15.5090, 7318.15.2095) are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language is dispositive on whether a product is covered, and coated, unfinished, or partially processed items may still be within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of carbon-quality steel threaded rod, bar, or studs from China, particularly non-headed products threaded along more than a quarter of their length, including galvanized or oil-coated versions used in construction, hardware, and industrial fastening.

What the duty means

If goods fall within scope, importers generally must post AD cash deposits at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Only an AD order is listed here, so no CVD deposit arises from this case number.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description of the rod, bar, or studs
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing threading and dimensions
☐Document material composition and chemistry to compare against the scope's element limits
☐Measure and record the percentage of total length that is threaded
☐Identify any applicable ASTM grade (e.g., A193 B7, B7M, B16, A320 L7) that may relate to exclusions
☐Confirm the country-of-origin support and manufacturing steps (forged, cold-drawn, etc.)
☐Record the full manufacturer, exporter, and producer/exporter combination names
☐Verify the HTSUS classification and confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker
☐Verify the current cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing, and do not rely only on supplier statements

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries where borderline chemistry, coatings, or threading length create uncertainty
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and using an incorrect deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration or failure-to-declare penalties, including retroactive duty exposure

The same or similar steel threaded rod may be subject to trade-remedy orders from other origins, so each country of origin should be reviewed on its own facts without any attempt to evade duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on steel threaded rod from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from China under case number A-570-932. Whether your specific goods are covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative reviews, so importers should confirm the current rate.

Are parts or unassembled steel threaded rod covered?

Threaded rod, bar, or studs may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope, including certain coated or cold-finished forms; conversely, end-only threading of 25% or less and specified ASTM grades are described as excluded. Verify with a licensed broker.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are non-headed carbon-quality steel threaded rod of Chinese origin threaded along more than 25% of their length; separate review is needed for specific ASTM grades, end-only threading, alloy chemistry, coatings, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Certain steel threaded rod from China may be covered by AD case A-570-932; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.
