Commerce Finalizes China Bearing Dumping Duties Review
Published Date: 9/21/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized its review of tapered roller bearings from China for June 2024 to May 2025. Shanghai Tainai Bearing Co. didn’t qualify for special treatment and is now grouped with the China-wide entity, meaning they face the same antidumping duties. This decision, effective September 21, 2026, impacts importers and could affect prices and trade fairness.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Shanghai Tainai Grouped with China‑wide Entity
Commerce determined that Shanghai Tainai Bearing Co., Ltd. did not qualify for a separate rate and is part of the China‑wide entity for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. This grouping is effective as of September 21, 2026.
China‑wide Antidumping Rate of 92.84% Applied
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess any suspended entries associated with Tainai at the China‑wide rate of 92.84 percent. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication; if a timely summons is filed, CBP will hold liquidation until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
Cash Deposit Rules Require 92.84% for Some Exporters
Effective upon publication of these final results for shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date: (1) exporters with existing separate rates keep their current cash deposit rates; (2) China exporters not found entitled to a separate rate must use the China‑wide cash deposit rate of 92.84 percent; and (3) non‑China exporters without their own rate must use the rate of the China exporter that supplied them. These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate Requirement; Risk of Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this review period. Failure to file the certificate could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement has occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties.
