Act fast—there are deadlines to join the review and comment on which companies get checked closely.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
No Request Means CBP Assesses Deposit Rate
If Commerce does not receive a request for review of entries covered by an order by the last day of August 2025, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated duties required at the time of entry (or to continue to collect the previously ordered cash deposit).
Deadline to Request Administrative Review
If you are an interested party (importer, exporter, or producer) you may request an administrative review of the listed antidumping or countervailing duty orders by not later than the last day of August 2025. If you want Commerce to publish an initiation notice for the listed periods (e.g., 8/1/24–7/31/25 for many orders), you must file your request electronically in ACCESS by that deadline.
Particular Market Situation Submission Timing
If you plan to submit a Particular Market Situation (PMS) allegation under section 773(e) to change constructed-value calculations, you must file the PMS allegation and supporting factual information no later than 20 days after submission of initial Section D responses. If Commerce finds a PMS, it may modify dumping calculations accordingly.
Respondent Selection Timelines and APO Data Release
If Commerce limits the number of respondents it will use CBP import data for the period of review and intends to release that CBP data under an administrative protective order to parties with an APO within five days of the initiation notice and to decide on respondent selection within 35 days of the initiation notice. Parties may comment on respondent selection within five days after the CBP data are placed on the record.
Annual Inquiry Service List Update Deadlines
Commerce will update annual inquiry service lists for the listed orders and interested parties must submit new or amended entries of appearance within 30 days after the date of this notice; Commerce will finalize the lists five business days thereafter. Petitioners and foreign governments that previously submitted entries will be automatically added each year after their initial submission.
