Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List (April 2026)

The U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, has published its annual notice inviting interested parties to request administrative reviews of antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders whose anniversary month falls in April. Requests must be submitted electronically via the ACCESS system no later than the last business day of April 2026. The notice covers a broad range of products and countries, including numerous Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet orders across 17+ countries, Chinese goods such as wooden cabinets, stainless steel sinks, activated carbon, and aluminum foil, as well as biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia. If no review is requested by the deadline, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties on relevant entries at the cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry — meaning importers lose the opportunity to obtain a lower (or higher) duty rate through review. For non-market economy (NME) countries like China, the NME entity itself will not be reviewed unless specifically requested; individual exporters not qualifying for a separate rate will be treated as part of the NME entity. In addition to review requests, Commerce is updating its Annual Inquiry Service Lists (AISL) for all listed AD and CVD proceedings. Interested parties have 30 days from the notice date to submit new or amended entries of appearance in ACCESS. Petitioners and foreign governments previously on the list are automatically carried over but must still update contact information if needed. Law firms with multiple attorneys are asked to designate a single lead attorney per proceeding. The notice also sets procedural rules: respondent selection will be based on CBP import data released within 5 days of initiation; collapsing of companies as single entities generally will not occur at the respondent selection phase unless previously determined; and particular market situation (PMS) allegations must be submitted no later than 20 days after initial Section D questionnaire responses.
