US–China Trade Daily Highlights | 2026-02-04 1) Executive Summary Today’s report covers two trade remedy actions published in the Federal Register. Both were issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) under Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 in coordination with the Department of Commerce (DOC). The policy instruments involve antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) reviews, including one termination of a five-year review and one determination to conduct full five-year reviews. 2) Updates by Authority ITC (U.S. International Trade Commission) Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Sheet — Antidumping Duty (Termination of Five-Year Review) The ITC terminated the five-year review concerning the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet from South Korea. The Department of Commerce had revoked the order effective January 12, 2026, after no domestic interested party filed a notice of intent to participate. The original review was instituted on August 1, 2025, but was delayed due to appropriations lapses and administrative tolling. Authority: International Trade Commission Policy Type: Antidumping Duty (AD) Event Type: Termination of Five-Year Review Key Identifiers: Investigation No. 731-TA-1455 (Review) Key Dates: Review instituted August 1, 2025; order revoked January 12, 2026; notice issued January 30, 2026 Source: Link Oil Country Tubular Goods — Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (Full Five-Year Reviews Initiated) The ITC announced its determination to conduct full five-year reviews of the countervailing duty orders on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from India and Turkey and the antidumping duty orders on OCTG from India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam. The reviews will assess whether revocation of these orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury. A timetable for the reviews will be released separately.

Commerce’s tolling adjustments due to the 2025 federal government shutdown extended review schedules before final termination. The ITC opted for full five-year reviews in the oil country tubular goods cases involving India, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam. These reviews will consider potential injury implications before any revocation decisions on existing AD/CVD orders. Both actions were formally issued on January 30, 2026, and published in the February 4, 2026 Federal Register. 4) Full Source Links (Index) Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Sheet — Termination of Five-Year Review Oil Country Tubular Goods — Full Five-Year Reviews Initiated 5) Legal Disclaimer This article includes content collected and summarized from publicly available U.S. government materials, including the Federal Register (federalregister.gov).

ITC launched a new Section 337 investigation into dental burs and kits involving patent and trademark infringement allegations with a broad set of overseas respondents. OFAC expanded its SDN List and released several general licenses related to Russian and transnational sanctions regimes. The OFAC general licenses collectively authorized time-limited or project-specific activities otherwise restricted under the sanctions regulations. No new China-targeted sanctions were issued in these OFAC actions, but enforcement and licensing processes remain active. 4) Full Source Links (Index) Certain Nasal Devices and Components — ITC public interest request Certain Dental Burs and Kits — ITC institution of investigation OFAC Notice of Sanctions Action (SDN List) OFAC General License 132 — Russian Sanctions OFAC General License 1 — Transnational Criminal Organizations Sanctions OFAC General License 129 — Russian Sanctions (Rosneft entities) OFAC General License 13O — Russian Sanctions (Directive 4

US–China Trade Daily Highlights | 2026-01-09 Executive Summary This briefing covers seven U.S. government actions relating to China published between January 7–9, 2026. The primary authorities involved are the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (DOC/ITA). All items concern antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) proceedings, including final results of sunset reviews, determinations of material injury, and administrative reviews. Key products covered are lightweight thermal paper, thermoformed molded fiber products, light-walled rectangular pipe and tube, xanthan gum, ferrovanadium, and tow-behind lawn groomers. Updates by Authority ITC — U.S. International Trade Commission Lightweight Thermal Paper — AD/CVD (Five-Year Review Determination) The ITC determined that revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on lightweight thermal paper from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. The Commission’s findings were made under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 and are contained in Publication 5967 (January 2026). Authority: INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION Policy Type: AD/CVD Key identifiers: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-451 and 731-TA-1126 (Third Review) Determination date: January 6, 2026 Source Thermoformed Molded Fiber Products — AD/CVD (Final Determinations) The ITC found that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam sold at less than fair value and subsidized by both governments. The determinations were made under sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 and are contained in USITC Publication 5964 (January 2026). Authority: INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION Policy Type: AD/CVD Key identifiers: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-739‑740 and 731‑TA‑1716‑1717 (Final) Determination date: January 5, 2026 Source DOC / ITA — U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube — CVD (Expedited Third Sunset Review Final Results) Commerce determined that revocation of the CVD order on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies. The final subsidy rates range from 2.20% to 200.58%. Authority: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, International Trade Administration Policy Type: AD/CVD Investigation: C‑570‑915 Effective date: January 9, 2026 Source Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube — AD (Expedited Third Sunset Review Final Results) Commerce concluded that revocation of the AD orders on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China, Korea, Mexico, and Türkiye would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, with margins up to 255.07% for China. Authority: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, International Trade Administration Policy Type: AD Effective date: January 8, 2026 Source Xanthan Gum — AD (Preliminary Administrative Review, 2023–2024) Commerce preliminarily found that reviewed exporters of xanthan gum from China did not sell below normal value during July 2023–June 2024. Deosen Biochemical Ltd. had no shipments, and the review was rescinded in part for CP Kelco (Shandong). Zero margins were calculated for participating firms. Authority: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, International Trade Administration Policy Type: AD Investigation ID: A‑570‑985 Effective date: January 9, 2026 Source Ferrovanadium — AD (Expedited Fourth Sunset Review Final Results) Commerce determined that revocation of the AD orders on ferrovanadium from South Africa and China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, with margins up to 66.71% for China. Authority: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, International Trade Administration Policy Type: AD Effective date: January 8, 2026 Source Tow‑Behind Lawn Groomers — AD (Expedited Third Sunset Review Final Results) Commerce found that revocation of the AD order on tow‑behind lawn groomers and certain parts from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, with margins up to 386.28%. Authority: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, International Trade Administration Policy Type: AD Effective date: January 8, 2026 Source Key Takeaways (Factual) Both ITC and Commerce issued final or preliminary decisions sustaining duties on several Chinese-origin products. Sunset reviews reaffirm existing AD or CVD orders for light-walled pipe and tube, ferrovanadium, and lawn groomers. The ITC confirmed that injury would likely continue if AD/CVD orders on lightweight thermal paper were revoked. Commerce’s preliminary review found no dumping for xanthan gum producers during 2023–2024. All cases reference China explicitly as the country of origin, demonstrating continued monitoring of Chinese exports under trade remedy law.
