Commerce Rescinds Antidumping Duty Review on Aluminum Wire and Cable from China
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has announced that it is stopping the review of the antidumping duty on aluminum wire and cable coming from the People’s Republic of China. The review was meant for the period from December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2024.
What is an Antidumping Duty?
An antidumping duty is a special tax the U.S. puts on products from other countries. It helps to make sure local companies can compete fairly. If a foreign company sells a product in the U.S. for less than it costs at home, it is called “dumping.” This can hurt U.S. businesses.
Why Did Commerce Rescind the Review?
The Department of Commerce began the review because Tanghenam Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. (Tanghenam) asked for it. They are a company in China that makes aluminum wire and cable. The review found that there were no entries of aluminum wire and cable from Tanghenam during the review period.
Process and Timeline
The review was initiated on January 27, 2025, based on a request from Tanghenam. On September 9, 2025, a memo was released to show that there were no entries of the product during the time of review. Commerce then planned to cancel the review on December 11, 2025, due to this lack of entries.
There were some delays because of the government shutdown and other issues, which made deadlines longer. Deadlines were extended by 47 days due to a government shutdown and another 21 days because of technical issues.
Commerce extended the deadline for preliminary results by another 110 days on February 9, 2026. The final decision was set for May 28, 2026.
Rescission Decision
Commerce uses a special rule that lets them stop a review if there are no entries of the product during the review time. Since there were no entries of aluminum wire and cable from Tanghenam, Commerce decided to stop the review.
Next Steps
Since the review is canceled, the cash deposit rates for antidumping duties will stay the same as before. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be told not to change how they assess duties on these products.
Important Notifications
The notice also reminds everyone involved that they have to return or destroy any private or protected information they used for this review. They have to send a written note to confirm this. Not doing so could lead to penalties.
This decision and the reasons for it are available publicly, and the Commerce Department welcomes interested parties to review the related materials for in-depth understanding.
