Commerce Drops Antidumping Reviews After Requester Backouts Take Effect
Published Date: 4/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is canceling certain reviews of special import taxes because everyone who asked for them changed their minds on time. This means companies involved won’t face extra checks or possible money changes for now. The decision takes effect on April 9, 2026, keeping things smooth and simple for businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Certificate Requirement Reminder
This notice reminds importers subject to AD orders of their duty to file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation of the entries. If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess doubled antidumping duties.
Rescission of AD/CVD Administrative Reviews
Commerce is rescinding the administrative reviews of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders listed in this notice, effective April 9, 2026. That means the listed proceedings (for example: cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Germany, mattresses from Taiwan, and several China and other country cases) will not proceed with the administrative reviews covering the periods of review shown in the table in the notice.
Assessment at Cash-Deposit Rates
For the rescinded reviews, Commerce will tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping and/or countervailing duties on entries during the periods of review at rates equal to the cash deposit required at entry. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice (35 days after April 9, 2026 = on or after May 14, 2026) for countries other than Canada and Mexico, and no earlier than 41 days after publication (on or after May 20, 2026) for Canada and Mexico.
Administrative Protective Order (APO) Return Reminder
Parties subject to an Administrative Protective Order (APO) are reminded to return or destroy proprietary information or convert it to a judicial protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to follow APO rules can be a sanctionable violation.
