ITC expedited sunsets: ironing tables, CTL plate

The ITC scheduled two expedited five-year (sunset) review tracks: ironing tables and certain parts thereof from China, and cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine. The ironing-tables notice (FR Doc. 2026-22167; 91 FR 68557) was published October 30, 2026. The CTL plate notice (FR Doc. 2026-22077; 91 FR 68166) was published October 29, 2026. Both notices were issued October 27, 2026. Procedures: 19 CFR Part 207; statute 19 U.S.C. 1675(c).

Expedited reviews: no full hearing. Orders and suspension agreements stay in effect during review. Comment deadlines Jan 27, 2027 (ironing tables) and Nov 30, 2026 (CTL plate).

What an expedited review means

In a five-year review, the Commission decides whether revocation of an AD order (or termination of a suspended investigation) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. When the domestic interested-party group response is adequate and the respondent group response is inadequate, and no other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission may conduct an expedited review under section 751(c)(3) of the Act. Expedited reviews proceed without a full hearing. The underlying orders and suspension agreements remain in effect while the review runs. These scheduling notices do not set or change cash deposit rates, and they do not predict the outcome.

Ironing tables from China (Fourth Review)

Inv. No. 731-TA-1047 (Fourth Review). On October 5, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (91 FR 40585, July 2, 2026) was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. Commissioner Negatu did not participate. The Commission found the response submitted on behalf of Seymour Mfg. LLC (d/b/a Seymour Home Products) individually adequate. The staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on January 20, 2027. Written comments are due no later than 5:15 p.m. on January 27, 2027. The Commission determined the review is extraordinarily complicated and extended the review period by up to 90 days under 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

CTL plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine (Fifth Review)

Inv. Nos. 731-TA-753, 754, and 756 (Fifth Review). As framed in this ITC notice, the reviews cover the antidumping duty order on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China and the suspended investigations on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Russia and Ukraine. On September 4, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (91 FR 32448, June 1, 2026) was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. Individually adequate domestic responses: Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., Nucor Corporation, and SSAB Enterprises. The staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on November 23, 2026. Written comments are due no later than 5:15 p.m. on November 30, 2026. The Commission also extended these reviews by up to 90 days as extraordinarily complicated.

Commerce's separate fifth-sunset final results on the China and Russia AD orders are covered in CTL plate China/Russia AD sunset (Oct 2026). That Commerce notice treats Russia's earlier suspension agreement as terminated on August 14, 2023, with an AD order following, and does not cover Ukraine. This ITC scheduling notice still describes the Russia and Ukraine tracks as suspended investigations. For another recent ITC sunset roundup, see ITC sunsets: twist ties, wind towers, chassis.

While these reviews continue, existing AD cash deposits remain in force where an order applies. Antidumping duties are not drawback-eligible (19 U.S.C. 1677h; AD/CVD duties are excluded from drawback). Ordinary customs duties on the same entries can still be drawback-eligible when merchandise is exported or destroyed (or used to manufacture exported goods) and the claim otherwise qualifies (how to file a duty drawback claim).
