Summary
If you’re involved in importing goods, now’s your chance to ask the government to review antidumping or countervailing duty orders during their anniversary month. This means you can check if duties are fair or need adjusting, but you gotta act fast and follow the new request format. Deadlines and selection rules are tighter, so get your paperwork in on time to avoid missing out on potential money changes.

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
May 2026 Review Request Deadline
If you are an interested party in one of the listed antidumping (AD) or countervailing duty (CVD) orders, you may request an administrative review not later than the last day of May 2026 (or the next business day if that day is a weekend or holiday). If Commerce does not receive a request by that deadline for entries covered by an order and period listed in this notice, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit required at the time of entry and will continue to collect that cash deposit.
Respondent Selection Uses CBP Data and Timelines
If Commerce limits the number of respondents for examination, it will select respondents using U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) import data for the period of review and will release that CBP data under an administrative protective order to parties with APOs within five days of the initiation notice. Commerce intends to make its respondent selection decision within 35 days of the initiation notice and invites comments on respondent selection within five days after placing the CBP data on the record.
Particular Market Situation Filing Window
If you want to submit a particular market situation (PMS) allegation under section 773(e) of the Act to change constructed value calculations, you must file the PMS allegation and supporting new factual information no later than 20 days after submission of initial Section D responses. If Commerce finds a PMS exists, it will modify its dumping calculations accordingly.
Non‑Market Economy (NME) Entity Review Rule
Commerce will not treat the non‑market economy (NME) entity as conditionally subject to an AD administrative review unless Commerce specifically receives a request for, or self‑initiates, a review of the NME entity. If an individual exporter is reviewed but does not qualify for a separate rate, Commerce will decide the exporter is part of the NME entity, but the rate for the NME entity will not change because no review of the NME entity was conducted.
Annual Inquiry Service List Update Window
Interested parties who want to be on the updated annual inquiry service list for the listed proceedings have 30 days after the date of this notice to submit new or amended entries of appearance; Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service lists five business days after that 30-day period. Petitioners and foreign governments that submit an entry once will be automatically placed on the list in future years, and Commerce requests that law firms with multiple attorneys designate a lead attorney for the list.
