Commerce Drops Antidumping Reviews After Requests Get Withdrawn
Published Date: 12/8/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is canceling certain reviews of special import taxes because everyone who asked for them changed their minds on time. This means no extra checks or changes to these taxes will happen for now, keeping things steady for the companies involved. The decision took effect on December 8, 2025, so businesses can plan without surprises or extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement or Risk Doubled Duties
Importers of merchandise subject to AD orders must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation of the relevant entries, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Reviews Rescinded; Stability Restored
Commerce is canceling the listed antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) administrative reviews because all review requests were withdrawn within the 90-day deadline. This rescission is effective December 8, 2025, so companies named in the notice can expect no administrative review actions for the listed periods of review.
Duties Assessed at Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce will tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping and/or countervailing duties for the listed entries at rates equal to the cash deposit required at the time of entry. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after this notice's Federal Register publication, or no earlier than 41 days for rescissions involving Canada or Mexico.
APO Parties Must Return or Destroy Proprietary Materials
Parties that received business proprietary information under an Administrative Protective Order (APO) must follow 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3) to return, destroy, or convert APO materials to a judicial protective order. Timely written notification of disposition is requested and failure to comply is a sanctionable violation.
