Commerce Announces AD/CVD Orders in Temporary Steel Fencing from China Investigations

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On May 13, 2026, the Department of Commerce (“DOC”) issued antidumping (“AD”) and countervailing (“CVD”) orders on temporary steel fencing from China, based on affirmative determinations at both the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the DOC.

The ITC found that domestic producers of temporary steel fencing had been materially injured by unfairly traded imports from China. The DOC determined that temporary steel fencing from China was being sold at less than fair value (LTFV) in the United States at rates ranging from 129.70 to 184.27%. The DOC also found that Chinese producers were being subsidized by the Government of China at rates ranging from 49.19 to 178.97%.

U.S. imports of temporary steel fencing from China were valued at $57.4 million in 2024. Schagrin Associates litigated the investigation on behalf of ZND US Inc. (Statesville, NC), a domestic producer of temporary steel fencing.
