The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has started its third five-year reviews. They are reviewing orders on steel grating from China. These orders are about countervailing and antidumping duties. The USITC wants to know if ending these orders would hurt U.S. industry.
The reviews began on May 1, 2026. People who are interested need to respond by June 1, 2026. Later, comments on the responses can be made by July 13, 2026.

In 2010, the Department of Commerce added duties on steel grating from China. These duties were reviewed earlier in 2015 and 2021. The current review will decide if the orders will continue. The commission will look at facts and decide if the U.S. industry will be harmed if these duties are removed.
There are important terms in these reviews. “Subject Merchandise” refers to the steel grating from China. The “Subject Country” is China. “Domestic Like Product” means the similar product made in the U.S. “Domestic Industry” is all U.S. producers of steel grating.
