Estimated reading time: 2–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the final results of the expedited fifth sunset reviews regarding the antidumping duty orders on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China and Russia.
The reviews were conducted by the International Trade Administration, a part of the Department of Commerce. The findings concluded that revoking these antidumping duty orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Dumping occurs when foreign producers sell goods in the United States at a price lower than the fair value, which can harm domestic industries. The orders were first put in place to address this issue and protect American businesses.
These reviews are in accordance with the Tariff Act of 1930. They ensure that the antidumping duty orders remain effective and appropriate for managing unfair trade practices.
In this case, the Department of Commerce determined that the levels of dumping likely to occur if the orders were revoked would be up to 128.59 percent for China and 185.00 percent for Russia.
Domestic companies Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., Nucor Corporation, and SSAB Enterprises LLC participated in the review process by expressing their intent and providing substantive responses.
The Department of Commerce published a notice of these reviews on June 1, 2026. It informed the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of the responses received from domestic parties but noted that there were no substantive responses from any foreign respondents.
As no foreign parties responded, the Department conducted expedited reviews and confirmed the necessity of continuing the antidumping duty orders to prevent unfair competition from foreign producers dumping their products in the U.S. market.
The decision has been made in accordance with the legal requirements and frameworks set out to protect U.S. industries from unfair trade practices.
This announcement serves as a reminder to parties subject to Administrative Protective Orders (APO) about their responsibilities concerning the handling of proprietary information. Failure to comply with APO regulations can lead to sanctions.
The detailed findings and supporting documents can be accessed through the Department of Commerce’s official channels to assist interested parties in understanding the decision and its implications.
