Antidumping Sunset Reviews Start
Commerce will initiate five-year 'sunset' reviews in July 2026 for several antidumping duty orders, including ironing tables, magnesia carbon bricks, metal lockers, utility-scale wind towers, and seamless refined copper pipe and tube from specified countries. The reviews will determine whether revoking the antidumping orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury.
Countervailing Duty Sunset Reviews Start
Commerce will initiate five-year 'sunset' reviews in July 2026 for certain countervailing duty orders, including magnesia carbon bricks and metal lockers from China and utility-scale wind towers from India and Malaysia. These reviews will decide whether ending the countervailing duties would likely lead to recurrence of countervailable subsidies and material injury.
