Steel Propane Cylinders From Thailand: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Sahamitr Pressure Container from Thailand sold steel propane cylinders at unfairly low prices between August 2023 and July 2024. This could mean extra duties (taxes) on their products to keep things fair for U.S. companies. The decision is preliminary, and folks can still share their thoughts before it’s final.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Automatic Assessment at 10.77% for Certain Entries
Commerce states that for entries of SMPC-produced merchandise during the review period for which SMPC did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, CBP will be instructed to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 10.77% if there is no rate for any intermediate company involved in the transaction.
Cash Deposit Rule and 10.77% All‑Others Rate
If the final results impose duties, the company-specific cash deposit rate for SMPC will equal the weighted-average dumping margin from the final results (or zero if the rate is de minimis, i.e., under 0.50%). For all other producers or exporters not covered by a company rate, the 'all-others' cash deposit rate will remain 10.77% and will apply to shipments entered for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results.
Reimbursement Certificate and Risk of Doubled Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries; if an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess doubled antidumping duties.
Preliminary Dumping Margin: 1.32%
Commerce preliminarily found that Sahamitr Pressure Container (SMPC) sold steel propane cylinders at less than normal value and calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.32% for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. If this margin is sustained in the final results and is not zero or de minimis (less than 0.50%), Commerce intends to calculate and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties based on that margin.
