Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Missed Review Deadline Means Duties Stay
If Commerce does not receive a request for administrative review by the last day of September 2026, Commerce will tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those entries at the cash-deposit rate that was required at the time of entry and to continue collecting previously ordered cash deposits. This applies to orders, findings, or suspended investigations listed in this notice with anniversary dates in September.
No Duties for First-Review 'Gap' Period
For the first administrative review of any order, Commerce will not assess antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption during the provisional-measures 'gap' period of the order, if a gap period applies to the period of review. This rule applies to the first administrative review for an order.
Nonmarket-Economy Entity Review Practice Clarified
Commerce stated it no longer considers the non-market-economy (NME) entity automatically as an exporter conditionally 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 an individual exporter does not qualify for a separate rate, Commerce will treat that exporter as part of the NME entity and, when no review of the NME entity was conducted, the NME entity's rate will not change as a result of that review.
Deadline for Particular Market Situation Claims
If you want to submit a Particular Market Situation (PMS) allegation under section 773(e) of the Act, you must file the PMS allegation and supporting new factual information no later than 20 days after submission of initial Section D responses. If Commerce finds a PMS, it will modify dumping calculations accordingly.
Annual Inquiry Service List Update Window
Commerce will update annual inquiry service lists for the listed AD and CVD proceedings. Interested parties have 30 days after the date of this notice (publication September 1, 2026) to submit new or amended entries of appearance; Commerce will finalize the lists five business days after that 30-day window. Petitioners and foreign governments that have submitted an entry of appearance previously will be automatically placed on future annual inquiry service lists.
Withdrawal Window for Review Requests
A party that requests an administrative review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Commerce may extend this 90-day deadline if it finds an extension reasonable, on a case-by-case basis.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some paper shopping bags from Cambodia were sold in the U.S. for less than their normal price between January 2024 and June 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that tires from Thailand were sold in the U.S. for less than their normal price between July 2024 and June 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Hyundai Steel and POSCO from South Korea got unfair government help on their hot-rolled steel in 2023. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their steel imports starting October 9, 2026. This means U.S. steel buyers might pay a bit more, and Korean producers will have to adjust to these new rules.
2026-20690, Oleoresin Paprika From India: Antidumping Duty Order and Countervailing Duty Order
Starting October 8, 2026, the U.S. is putting extra taxes on oleoresin paprika imported from India because it's being sold too cheaply and getting unfair government help. This move protects American paprika producers from losing business and means importers will have to pay more when bringing in this spice. If you import or sell this paprika, get ready for new costs and rules!
2026-20691, Certain Paper Shopping Bags From Taiwan: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2024-2025
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed paper shopping bags from Taiwan sold between January 2024 and June 2025. They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
