Chinese Rectangular Pipe Review Drops 39 Companies From the Queue
Published Date: 11/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce says Hangzhou Ailong Metal Products didn’t prove it deserves special treatment, so it’s grouped with all other Chinese companies for review. They’re also stopping the review for 39 other companies. This affects imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China during August 2024 to July 2025 and could impact duties and trade rules.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.
Hangzhou Ailong Subject to 255.07% Duty
Commerce preliminarily found that Hangzhou Ailong Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Ailong) is part of the China-wide entity for light-walled rectangular pipe and tube for the period August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025. If the final results affirm this finding, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate Ailong's entries at the China-wide antidumping duty rate of 255.07 percent.
Cash Deposit Rates After Final Results
Upon publication of the final results of this administrative review, Commerce set cash deposit requirements for future shipments entered on or after the publication date: (1) if Ailong is found ineligible for a separate rate, its cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate; (2) previously investigated or reviewed exporters that already received a separate rate will keep their existing exporter-specific rate; (3) all Chinese exporters not found entitled to a separate rate will have the China-wide entity cash deposit rate of 255.07 percent; and (4) for non-Chinese exporters without their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate of the Chinese exporter that supplied them.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Penalties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation of the relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Review Rescinded for 39 Companies
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for 39 named companies because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from those companies during the August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025 period of review. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties for those companies at rates equal to the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry, and intends to issue rescission instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice (publication date: November 4, 2026).
