On July 12, 2023, in response to a request from Vulcan Threaded Products Inc. (Vulcan), the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated country-wide circumvention inquiries to determine whether steel threaded rod, made from alloy steel, that is produced in the United States from unthreaded pins imported from the People’s Republic of China (China) is circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) order on alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod from China and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from China.
