Summary

These rates are from the final results of the expedited sunset review and are effective May 19, 2026.
CVDs Continue on Chinese Inhibitors
The Department of Commerce decided to keep the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain corrosion inhibitors from the People’s Republic of China in place, effective May 19, 2026. The notice says revoking the order would likely allow continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, and that this decision affects Chinese exporters and U.S. manufacturers seeking a level playing field.
