Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is kicking off reviews of certain import duties to make sure everything’s fair and square. Companies involved in importing goods with April anniversary dates should get ready, as this could affect how much they pay or get refunded. Key deadlines for submitting info and comments start now, so don’t miss out on your chance to speak up!
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
14‑Day Separate‑Rate Filing Requirement
If you are an exporter or producer from a non‑market‑economy country and want an individual (separate) antidumping rate, you must file a Separate Rate Certification or Separate Rate Application no later than 14 calendar days after this Federal Register notice (publication date June 2, 2026). If you previously had a separate rate but changed corporate structure or name, you must file a Separate Rate Application within the same 14‑day deadline to show you still qualify.
30‑Day Duty‑Absorption Request Window
A domestic interested party may request, within 30 days of this notice (publication date June 2, 2026), that Commerce determine whether antidumping duties were absorbed by an exporter or producer when sales in the U.S. were made through an affiliated importer. The request must name the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
No Duty Assessment for First‑Review Gap Period
For the first administrative review of any order, Commerce will not assess antidumping or countervailing duties on entries made during a relevant 'gap' period (the time after provisional measures expired and before definitive measures were in place), if a gap period applies to the period of review.
30‑Day Certification‑Eligibility Application Deadline
Exporters and producers that are not currently eligible to use the certification program but want to establish certification eligibility must file a Certification Eligibility Application no later than 30 calendar days after this Federal Register notice (publication date June 2, 2026). If such firms are later chosen as mandatory respondents, they must still answer the full questionnaire for Commerce to consider their eligibility.
Required Certification of Factual Submissions
Any party submitting factual information in these antidumping or countervailing duty proceedings must certify the accuracy and completeness of that information using Commerce's prescribed formats. Commerce intends to reject factual submissions that do not comply with the certification requirements described in the Final Rule (citation provided in the notice).
