wiredInUSA - March 2014

28

In early February Reuters reported that

the US commerce department had set

preliminary duties of up to 120 percent

on imports of steel threaded rods from

India. The report said the rods had been

"dumped" in the US market at prices 8.63

percent to 119.87 percent below fair

market value.

In 2013, imports of steel threaded rods

from India were valued at an estimated

$19 million.

A final decision on duties is expected by

July 2014 and will be subject to a ruling by

the US international trade commission on

whether the imports injure, or threaten to

injure, domestic producers.

The United States has also launched

a challenge to the domestic content

requirements in India's solar program,

claiming they discriminate against US

companies.
