Seamless pipe from Czechia, Russia, Korea, Ukraine: ITC full sunset reviews
ITC schedules full five-year reviews on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Czechia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine. Participation deadlines, March 2027 hearing calendar, and why orders and cash deposits continue during the review.
The U.S. International Trade Commission scheduled full five-year (sunset) reviews covering seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Czechia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-654-655 and 731-TA-1529-1532 (Review)) to decide whether revocation would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The scheduling notice published October 8, 2026 (91 FR 64400; FR Doc. 2026-20673; DATES October 5, 2026; issued October 6, 2026).
Mapped to the cited investigation numbers, the reviews cover antidumping duty orders on Czechia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine (731-TA-1529-1532) and countervailing duty orders on Russia and South Korea (701-TA-654-655). The notice SUMMARY lists those duty types the other way around; confirm coverage for your entries against Commerce's ACCESS case pages or your entry records. On June 5, 2026, the Commission determined that responses to its notice of institution were such that a full review should proceed (91 FR 50894, August 6, 2026). The Commission finds these reviews extraordinarily complicated and has extended the review period by up to 90 days under 19 U.S.C. § 1675(c)(5)(B). The orders remain in effect during the reviews; cash deposits continue. Sibling schedule: phosphate fertilizers Morocco/Russia CVD full sunset.

A scheduling notice is not a new cash-deposit instruction. While the reviews run, the AD and CVD orders stay in place and deposits continue. AD/CVD assessments and cash deposits are not drawback-eligible (19 U.S.C. § 1677h; see AD/CVD drawback exclusion). Treat this as order-continuation risk, not a refund path. Ordinary duties on the same entries remain on a separate drawback track when otherwise eligible.
