Turkey Rebar: Negative Final Determination, No AD Duties Imposed
No antidumping duty order will be issued, and no AD duties will be imposed, on imports of rebar from Turkey (A-489-818), said the Commerce Department in its final determination. The agency found that Turkish companies didn't dump subject merchandise in the United States, calculating a zero AD duty rate for all companies under review. Any cash deposits collected in connection with the AD duty investigation on rebar from Turkey will be refunded.

Commerce found illegal subsidization of some companies in its concurrent countervailing duty investigation on rebar from Turkey (see 14091210), so liquidation for all Turkish rebar exporters except Habas will still be suspended for CV duty purposes, and CV duty cash deposits will still be required.
(The period of investigation was 07/01/12 - 06/30/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope (unchanged from the preliminary determination), etc. See 13081308 for summary of initiation of this investigation, and 14042317 for the preliminary determination.)
