Five‑Year Reviews for Certain Imports
Commerce will start five‑year 'Sunset Reviews' in May 2025 for several imported products, including carbon and alloy steel wire rod and ceramic tile from China, silicon metal from Russia, and quartz surface products from Turkey and India. These reviews decide whether antidumping or countervailing duties stay in place, so importers and businesses that buy or sell these goods could see higher or lower costs depending on the outcome.
