U.S. Commerce Department Begins Five-Year Review of Trade Orders

Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes

On December 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the start of its five-year (sunset) reviews. This is done in line with the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. The International Trade Administration (ITA) is managing this process to review certain antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders and suspended investigations.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is making a similar announcement at the same time. The reviews will check if current trade orders should stay in place or be changed.
