U.S. Department of Commerce Cancels Reviews of Trade Orders

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has taken a significant step by deciding to cancel some of its ongoing antidumping and countervailing duty reviews. This decision was made because all the requests for these reviews were withdrawn on time. This means there were no more requests remaining for these reviews.

Commerce had started these reviews to look into certain companies and countries. These reviews were meant to make sure no unfair pricing or financial help was being given that could hurt U.S. businesses.

Here is a list of the products and countries involved in these cancelled reviews:

  • Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Africa, and Taiwan.
  • Brass Rod from Israel.
  • Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Italy.
  • Forged Steel Fittings from the Republic of Korea.
  • Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Turkmenistan.
  • Gas Powered Pressure Washers from Vietnam and China.
  • Polyester Textured Yarn and Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from Thailand.
  • Various Products including certain plastic decorative ribbons, vertical shaft engines, crystalline silicon photovoltaic products, lightweight thermal paper, mattresses, seamless refined copper pipe and tube, wooden bedroom furniture, and wooden cabinets and vanities from the People’s Republic of China.

For all these products, Commerce will not continue its review process. Instead, it will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to take action based on the original duties set when the products first entered the U.S.

Importers of these products have responsibilities. They need to file certain papers about paying the right duties. If they don’t, they might have to pay double.

Commerce has also reminded those involved in these reviews to properly handle private information according to the laws.

The decision to stop the reviews was published officially on August 11, 2026, by Scot Fullerton, who is acting as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations. This notice is part of the ongoing efforts to manage trade fairly and according to the law.
