The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Nan Ya Plastics sold PET film from Taiwan at unfairly low prices from July 2024 to June 2025. Meanwhile, Shinkong companies didn’t have any sales to review during this time. This means some antidumping duties might change soon, and companies involved should pay close attention to upcoming updates and deadlines.
2026-20259, Melamine From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited Second Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on melamine imported from China because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects Chinese melamine exporters and U.S. manufacturers like Cornerstone Chemical, who benefit from these protections. The decision takes effect October 2, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and protecting American jobs.
2026-20272, Certain Aluminum Foil From the Republic of Türkiye: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2023
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some aluminum foil makers in Türkiye got unfair government help in 2023. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. These new rules started on October 2, 2026, and could affect prices and trade with Türkiye.
2026-20256, Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders
The U.S. Department of Commerce is checking if certain aluminum panels made by Shanghai Alumetal in China are sneaking around existing import taxes on aluminum sheets. This means companies importing these panels might face new duties soon, starting October 2, 2026.

2026-20258, Certain Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Covered Merchandise Determination and Notice of Amended Covered Merchandise Determination Pursuant to Court Decision; Correction
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed a mix-up about certain unfinished carbon steel pipe fittings from China. These partly made fittings, even if finished later in Vietnam, are still covered by U.S. trade rules, and the government will pause money processing on past imports of these items. This affects importers and could impact payments and deadlines retroactively.
2026-20269, Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List; Note Regarding Format of Review Requests
If you're involved in importing goods under antidumping or countervailing duty orders, now’s your chance to ask the U.S. Department of Commerce to review those orders during their anniversary month. You’ll need to follow new rules on how to submit your review requests, including listing companies alphabetically if you’re asking for multiple reviews. Keep an eye on deadlines and data releases—missing them could mean losing your chance to be heard or affecting money matters.
