Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Request Reviews by Last Day of April 2025
If you are an importer, exporter, producer, or other interested party, you may request an administrative review of the listed antidumping or countervailing duty orders not later than the last day of April 2025. If Commerce does not receive a review request by that date, it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on those entries at the cash deposit rate that was required at entry.
Particular Market Situation Allegations Deadline
If an interested party wants to submit a particular market situation (PMS) allegation under section 773(e) of the Tariff Act, it must file the PMS allegation and supporting new factual information no later than 20 days after submission of initial Section D responses.
Nonmarket-Economy (NME) Entity Review Rules
Commerce will not consider the nonmarket-economy (NME) entity as an exporter conditionally subject to an AD administrative review; the NME entity will not be under review unless Commerce specifically receives a request for, or self-initiates, a review of the NME entity. If no review of the NME entity is conducted but an individual exporter is found to be part of the NME entity, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries for exporters not named in the initiation notice at the NME entity rate.
Respondent Selection Uses CBP Data, Fast Timelines
If Commerce limits the number of respondents in a review, it will select respondents using U.S. Customs and Border Protection import data for the period of review. Commerce intends to release CBP data under an Administrative Protective Order within five days of the initiation notice and will decide respondent selection within 35 days of that notice; parties have five days after the data are placed on the record to comment.
You Can Withdraw Review Requests Within 90 Days
A party that requests an administrative review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date the notice of initiation is published. Commerce may extend the 90-day deadline on a case-by-case basis if it finds an extension reasonable.
Update or Join the Annual Inquiry Service List
All interested parties who want to appear on the updated annual inquiry service lists must submit a new or amended entry of appearance within 30 days after the date of this notice; Commerce will finalize the lists five business days after that 30-day window. Petitioners and foreign governments that previously submitted an entry are automatically retained on the list each year after their first submission.
