China Cylinders Dumped, Shutdowns Slow Review

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Chinese companies sold non-refillable steel cylinders in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from May 2024 to April 2025. This means certain exporters might face extra duties to level the playing field. The review affects four Chinese companies and includes deadline delays due to government shutdowns, with results effective August 6, 2026.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that certain exporters made sales of non-refillable steel cylinders (non-refillable cylinders) at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025.

## Effects PRIA read

- Huge Preliminary Duty for One Exporter: cost, high. Commerce preliminarily found that Wuyi Xilinde sold non-refillable steel cylinders in the U.S. at unfairly low prices for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025 and calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 218.88 percent. If this margin stands in the final results, importers of Wuyi X…
- Review Rescinded for Three Chinese Firms: mixed, medium. Commerce rescinded the administrative review for Ningbo Eagle, Sanjiang Kai Yuan, and Zhejiang Kin-Shine because CBP data showed they had no reviewable, suspended entries during May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. For the companies with rescinded reviews, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Bor…
- China-Wide Rate Remains 112.21 Percent: cost, high. Commerce stated that the China-wide entity rate of 112.21 percent is not under review and will remain unchanged. Any Chinese exporter that has not been found entitled to a separate rate will have a cash deposit rate equal to the China-wide rate of 112.21 percent.
- Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments: cost, high. Commerce explained cash deposit requirements that will take effect upon publication of the final results: (1) companies with a separate rate will use the rate set in the final results; (2) previously reviewed exporters retain their existing exporter-specific rates; (3) Chinese exporters without a s…
- Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement: cost, medium. Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of entries, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or in…
