13.57% dumping margin found on Spanish steel strand
Commerce preliminarily found Spanish prestressed concrete steel wire strand sold at a 13.57% dumping margin, a result that could affect prices for importers and construction buyers while the case remains open.
The Commerce Department preliminarily determined that Global Special Steel Products S.A.U., doing business as Trenzas y Cables de Acero PSC, S.L. (TYCSA), sold prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Spain below normal value. The product, often called PC strand, is used in construction, so the finding matters to importers and buyers who have to plan around possible trade costs. The notice is applicable June 22, 2026.

A price signal that can travel
This is not a final duty order, and it does not itself fix final liability. But a preliminary dumping finding is still a warning light for the market. If the result holds, it can support duties that ripple through import pricing and into the cost of construction materials that rely on the strand.
The case is still open
Commerce said interested parties can comment on the preliminary results. The review covered sales from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025. For now, the practical takeaway is simple: Spanish PC strand remains under U.S. antidumping pressure while Commerce works toward a final decision.
