Published Date: 12/8/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is kicking off reviews to check if some imported goods are unfairly priced or getting secret help from foreign governments. This affects companies that export to the U.S. and could lead to changes in import duties starting December 8, 2025. Businesses should watch deadlines closely because these reviews can impact costs and trade rules.

Fast deadlines for rate eligibility filings
Exporters and producers seeking separate-rate status must file a Separate Rate Certification or Separate Rate Application no later than 14 calendar days after the Federal Register publication of this initiation notice.

Respondent selection and comment timing rules
If Commerce limits respondent examinations, CBP import data or Q&V questionnaires will be placed on the record within five days of this notice and Commerce intends to make respondent selection within 35 days of publication. Comments on CBP/Q&V data are due within seven days after placement and rebuttals within five days after that comment deadline.
No-sales, duty absorption, and gap-period rules
Companies with no exports or no suspended entries during the period of review may notify Commerce within 30 days of publication for Commerce to consider rescinding the review; domestic interested parties may request duty-absorption inquiries within 30 days of publication; and for the first administrative review of an order, Commerce will not assess AD/CVD duties on entries during any applicable 'gap' period.
Factual information certification and timeliness rules
Any party submitting factual information must follow Commerce's certification formats and timing rules; Commerce intends to reject factual submissions that do not meet certification requirements. Extension requests generally must be filed before the deadline and may be untimely if filed after 10:00 a.m. on the due date for simultaneous submissions.
