Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is checking if special taxes on certain electrical steel from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan should stay or go. These taxes help protect American steel makers from unfairly cheap imports. If you’re involved in this steel business, you need to share your info by the end of 2025 to have your say!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Five-Year Review Could Keep Tariffs
The U.S. International Trade Commission has started second five-year reviews to decide whether countervailing and antidumping duty orders on non-oriented electrical steel (NOES) from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan should be revoked or kept. If the orders are kept, they would continue duties that the notice says help protect U.S. steel makers from unfairly cheap imports; if revoked, duties would end. Interested parties in the NOES trade are asked to submit information to the Commission to inform that decision.
Adverse Inference If You Don’t Respond
If an interested party does not provide the requested information (or provides an inadequate explanation for not doing so), the Commission may draw an adverse inference against that party under section 776(b) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1677e(b)) when making its determinations in these reviews. That adverse inference can affect the Commission's conclusions about likely injury if orders were revoked.
Deadlines and Filing Requirements
If you want to participate, you must submit your response by 5:15 p.m. on December 31, 2025, and you may file comments on adequacy of responses by 5:15 p.m. on February 6, 2026. The reviews were instituted November 3, 2025, and filings must be made electronically through the Commission's EDIS system; no paper filings will be accepted until further notice.
Access to Business Proprietary Information (BPI)
Business proprietary information submitted in this proceeding can be made available to authorized applicants under an administrative protective order (APO), but applicants must apply no later than 21 days after publication of the notice in the Federal Register to receive BPI under the APO. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties who are parties to the proceeding.
