US authorities slapped tariffs on Chinese wire decking after a preliminary finding that the products were "dumped" at below market value, officials said Tuesday.

The tariffs of between 42.61 to 289 percent will be imposed and collected until a final determination is made in the case.

The United States has imposed duties on a variety of Chinese goods including steel pipes, grating and tubular goods based on other investigations.
