Chinese steel racks sold cheap, face duty hammer
Published Date: 9/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Chinese exporters sold steel racks in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from September 2023 to August 2024. Some companies didn’t prove they deserve special treatment, so they’re grouped with the China-wide entity. These final decisions, effective September 15, 2026, could affect import duties and trade fairness.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
China-Wide Duty Rate: 144.50%
Commerce affirmed a China-wide weighted-average dumping margin of 144.50 percent that applies to China exporters that do not have a separate rate. For example, Urgo was denied a separate rate and will be subject to the 144.50 percent rate.
Final Dumping Margins Set at 10.34%
If you import certain steel racks from Jiangsu Nova or Jiangsu JISE, Commerce found dumping margins of 10.34 percent for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024. This margin was adopted in the final results published with an applicable date of September 15, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rules Effective on Publication
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (September 15, 2026), cash deposit rates will apply: (1) Jiangsu JISE and Nova — their listed weighted-average margins (10.34%); (2) China exporters without a separate rate — 144.50%; and (3) non-China exporters without a separate rate — the rate of the China exporter that supplied them. These cash deposits remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate Requirement — Reimbursement Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties prior to liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f). If you fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Timing of Duty Assessment and Liquidation Holds
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, Commerce will instruct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time to request a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication).
