Commerce Opens Window for Duty Review Requests
Published Date: 7/1/2026
Notice
Summary
If you’re involved in importing goods that might be subject to special duties (called antidumping or countervailing duties), now’s your chance to ask the government to review those duties during the anniversary month of their announcement. This process affects importers and companies who want to make sure duties are fair and up-to-date. Act fast—there are deadlines to request reviews and join the annual inquiry list, which could impact how much money you pay or get back.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Automatic Duty Assessment If No Review Requested
If Commerce does not receive a request for review of entries covered by a listed order by the last day of July 2026, it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit required at entry, and to continue to collect the previously ordered cash deposit. This means duties will be assessed and collected at the deposit rate for those entries.
Deadline to Request Administrative Review
If you import goods covered by any of the listed antidumping (AD) or countervailing duty (CVD) orders, you may request an administrative review but must do so not later than the last day of July 2026 (or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday). This opportunity applies to the specific orders and periods listed in the notice.
Deadline for Particular Market Situation (PMS) Allegations
If you want Commerce to consider a particular market situation (PMS) allegation that could change constructed-value dumping calculations, you must submit that PMS allegation and supporting factual information no later than 20 days after you submit initial Section D responses. If Commerce finds a PMS under section 773(e) of the Tariff Act, it will modify its dumping calculations accordingly.
Non‑Market Economy (NME) Entity Review Rule
Commerce will not consider the non‑market economy (NME) entity as an exporter automatically subject to an AD administrative review. The NME entity will not be under review unless Commerce specifically receives a request for, or self‑initiates, a review of the NME entity. If a review of the NME entity is not conducted, the NME entity's rate will not change as a result of that review.
Respondent Selection Uses CBP Data and APO
If Commerce limits the number of respondents in an administrative review, it will select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) import data for the period of review. Commerce intends to release CBP data under an administrative protective order (APO) to parties with an APO within five days of the initiation notice, will decide respondent selection within 35 days of initiation, and invites comments on respondent selection within five days after the CBP data are placed on the record.
No Assessment During First-Review Gap Period
For the first administrative review of any order, Commerce will not assess antidumping or countervailing duties on entries entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during the order's provisional‑measures "gap" period, if such a gap period applies to the period of review. This means entries in that gap may not be subject to assessment in the first review.
