U.S. International Trade Commission Schedules Expedited Reviews on Steel Grating from China

Estimated reading time: 1–5 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced the scheduling of expedited reviews. This will determine if removing duties on steel grating from China will cause harm to U.S. companies. These reviews are conducted under the rules of the Tariff Act of 1930.

The Commission decided on August 4, 2026, that the response from U.S. companies was adequate. However, the response from Chinese companies was inadequate. Due to this, the Commission will not conduct a full review. Instead, they will perform expedited reviews as allowed by law. Commissioner Johanson voted for full reviews, but the majority chose expedited reviews.

The staff report provides private information about the reviews and will be released for those with permission on October 14, 2026. A public version will be available later. Comments from interested parties are due by October 21, 2026. These comments cannot include new facts. The USITC will accept comments from parties involved in the review, but others may submit a short statement. If the Department of Commerce takes longer to finish its reviews, comments will be due three days afterward.

Comments containing confidential business information must follow the rules. Documents filed must be shared with all parties involved and include proof of service. The Secretary will not accept any filings without this proof.

The Commission has declared these reviews very complicated. It has extended the review period by up to 90 days. This is allowed by law.

These reviews are managed under the authority of the Tariff Act. The announcement is published according to the Commission’s rules.

By order of The Commission, issued on August 20, 2026, by Sharon Bellamy, Supervisory Hearings and Information Officer.
