Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes
On October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice in the Federal Register. The notice announces that the Department is rescinding its administrative review of countervailing duties (CVD) on certain non-refillable steel cylinders from the People’s Republic of China.
The review would have covered the period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. Sanjiang Kai Yuan Co., Ltd. (SKY) had requested the review on May 22, 2025. No other requests for a review were received.
On June 25, 2025, Commerce started the review process. On July 9, 2025, Commerce checked data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about shipments of the subject merchandise by SKY during the review period. The data showed there were no such shipments.
Commerce informed interested parties of its intent to rescind the review and allowed them to comment. No comments were submitted.
According to Commerce rules, an administrative review of a CVD order is only done when there are entries of the subject merchandise during the review period for which liquidation is suspended. In this case, there were no entries from SKY, so there was nothing to review.
Because of this, Commerce is ending the review completely, in line with federal regulations.
There will be no change to the cash deposit rates because of this rescission. The current cash deposit requirements will stay the same until Commerce issues further notice.
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties at the cash deposit rates that were required at the time of entry, as stated in the federal regulations. These instructions will be issued at least 35 days after the date of publication of this notice.
The notice also reminds parties who are under an Administrative Protective Order (APO) of their responsibility to return or destroy any protected information according to Commerce’s regulations. Failure to do so could result in sanctions.
This notice is issued under sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, and Commerce regulations.
The notice was signed by Scot Fullerton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
