Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine: Institution of Five-Year Reviews
Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced that it has started five-year reviews of cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine. This review is to decide if getting rid of the antidumping duty order on these steel plates from China, and ending the investigations on steel plates from Russia and Ukraine, might cause harm again to the U.S. industry.
The investigation officially started on June 1, 2026. Those interested in responding to this notice must submit their information to the Commission by July 1, 2026, to be considered. Comments on whether there have been enough responses can be sent to the Commission by August 10, 2026.
The USITC is looking for information to see if stopping the current measures would cause more injury to the U.S. industry. These measures have been in place since Commerce suspended investigations in 1997. Since then, the rules have been continually reviewed every five years.
People affected by this review can participate by signing an entry of appearance and joining the service list within 21 days of this notice. The service list will have names and addresses of all those involved in the process.
Former USITC employees can participate in these reviews, even if they were involved in the original investigation. These reviews are considered new matters for legal purposes, and ethics rules allow former employees to be involved.
The Commission can share some business information during the review. Authorized applicants under a protective order can access certain business proprietary information if they apply within 21 days.
Participants must provide truthful and complete information. The data might be used by the Commission and other U.S. government employees. All submissions must be filed electronically through the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System.
If the Commission doesn’t have a valid Office of Management and Budget number, no response is needed. The OMB number is valid until June 30, 2026.
Participants having trouble providing information should inform the Commission as soon as possible, explaining why and suggesting other forms of data. Failure to do so might lead to the Commission making unfavorable assumptions.
Domestic producers, importers, or producers in the involved countries may respond using a single form, but must detail information for each affected country.
The Commission requires detailed information from all parties. Domestic producers must answer questions about production, capacity, and sales in 2025. Importers must provide information on imports and sales for 2025. Producers in foreign countries should share production and export details.
Participants should identify any significant recent changes in supply and demand, or business cycles for these steel plates.
Opinions on the definitions of domestic like products and industry are optional, and participants can provide their views on these definitions.
