US Court Upholds Steel Dumping Ruling on Mexican Producer Galvasid, Prompting Duty Changes
On October 19, 2026, a US trade court issued a final judgment in a case brought by Galvasid S.A. De C.V., backing the Department of Commerce's remand redetermination on corrosion-resistant steel from Mexico. Because the judgment does not match Commerce's earlier final determination, Commerce is amending that determination and the related antidumping order. Antidumping duties are extra tariffs charged when imports are sold below their home-market or fair value.
