Thailand Faces New Duties on Steel Propane Cylinders
Published Date: 6/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Sahamitr Pressure Container Plc. from Thailand sold steel propane cylinders in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between August 2023 and July 2024. Because of this, certain extra duties will apply to their imports starting June 23, 2026. This means importers and buyers should expect some changes in costs and rules soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Automatic Assessment and Liquidation Rule
Commerce's automatic assessment will apply to entries of subject merchandise produced by SMPC when the company did not know the merchandise it sold to an intermediary was destined for the United States; in such cases CBP will liquidate the entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company. The all-others rate is 10.77 percent ad valorem.
Reimbursement Certification Requirement
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties.
Antidumping Duty on SMPC Imports
The Department of Commerce found Sahamitr Pressure Container Plc. sold steel propane cylinders in the U.S. at dumped prices for August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024 and set a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.01 percent. As a result, antidumping duties will apply to SMPC imports effective June 23, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rate Set at 1.01%
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, the cash deposit rate for Sahamitr Pressure Container Plc. will equal the 1.01 percent weighted-average dumping margin. For other firms, previously established company-specific rates remain in effect and the all-others rate remains 10.77 percent ad valorem.
Duty Assessment Timing and Possible Delay
Commerce will issue instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results (publication date June 23, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction window has expired.
