U.S. Rescinds Administrative Review of Chinese Magnesia Carbon Bricks

Estimated reading time: 1–4 minutes

On August 28, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from the People’s Republic of China. The review was meant to cover imports made between September 1, 2023, and August 31, 2024.

The rescission took place because there were no reviewable entries of magnesia carbon bricks from the companies involved during the period of review. This means that no imports of these bricks entered the United States in a way that would be affected by the review during that time.

The review process started after the Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee requested it on September 30, 2024. U.S. Customs and Border Protection data later showed that there were no relevant entries to review. No parties provided comments about this data, and no comments were received after the notice of intent to rescind the review was issued on July 8, 2025.

This decision follows Commerce’s usual practice. When there are no entries to review because none were imported during the set period, Commerce rescinds the review according to its regulations.

No antidumping cash deposit rates will change because of this rescission. The current cash deposit requirements for these imports will stay in effect until further notice.

Commerce will instruct Customs to assess antidumping duties at the same rates that were in place at the time the entries were made. Instructions about assessment will be sent to Customs no earlier than 35 days after this notice is published.

Parties involved in this review are reminded of their duties under the administrative protective order. They must return or destroy any proprietary information given under this order according to the rules.

This notice was signed by Scot Fullerton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, on August 26, 2025.
