U.S. Department of Commerce Begins Reviews on Antidumping and Countervailing Duties for Multiple Countries

Estimated reading time: 5–10 minutes

On July 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced the start of new administrative reviews for antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders. These reviews address orders with June anniversary dates. Commerce follows the rules in 19 CFR 351.213(b) to begin these reviews.

Details of the Reviews

Commerce reviews if products from other countries are sold in the U.S. at unfair prices, or if foreign governments give unfair help to exporters. These reviews help decide if special taxes should stay on imported goods.

Respondent Selection Process

Commerce may choose specific companies (respondents) to check more closely. It uses data from U.S. Customs or direct questions about sales. The selection process usually happens within 35 days after this notice is published.

If a company already was found to be part of a group with others for past reviews, Commerce will treat them together again. Companies need to clearly state if they were grouped with others before.

No Sales and Withdrawal Rules

If a company did not sell the product during the review period, it can notify Commerce within 30 days. Companies that asked for a review can withdraw that request within 90 days, unless Commerce extends the deadline.

Particular Market Situation Allegations

Companies or interested parties can claim there was a special market situation (PMS) that affected costs. These claims and all support must be sent within 20 days after section D questionnaire responses.

Separate Rates in Non-Market Economy (NME) Countries

Companies in NME countries must prove they act independently from their government to get a separate AD rate. Certification or a new application is due within 14 calendar days after this notice is published. The forms are on Commerce’s website.

Certification Eligibility

Some companies export both covered and non-covered goods. They must submit a Certification Eligibility Application within 30 calendar days if they want to participate in the certification program. The application is on the Commerce website.

Products and Countries Reviewed

Some of the main products and countries covered in these reviews are:

  • Raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam
  • Brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, Republic of Korea, and South Africa
  • Glycine from India and Japan
  • Quartz surface products from India and Turkiye
  • Cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Germany, India, Italy, and Switzerland
  • Chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain and China
  • Prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Malaysia, Spain, Turkiye, and Ukraine
  • Non-refillable steel cylinders from India
  • Boltless steel shelving units from Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam

Commerce lists specific companies in each country for review. The review period dates can vary by product and country.

Duty Absorption

Commerce may check if exporters have absorbed dumping duties. Domestic parties must request this check within 30 days.

Gap Period Liquidation

For a first review, there will be no AD or CVD charges on goods brought into the country during any “gap” period between temporary and final measures, if applicable.

Administrative Procedures

Interested parties must apply for access to business information as per Commerce’s rules. Factual information must follow the correct category and submission standards in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) and 19 CFR 351.301. All information must be certified for accuracy.

Extension of Time Limits

Applications for more time must be made before deadlines. For joint submissions, extension requests are untimely if filed after 10 a.m. on the due date.
