Non-Oriented Electrical Steel From China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan; Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is running expedited five-year (sunset) reviews to decide whether to keep or revoke existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on non-oriented electrical steel from six countries.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has scheduled expedited reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on non-oriented electrical steel would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice indicates this is a procedural step in the sunset-review process; it does not itself change existing duties.

Who's affected: The notice names non-oriented electrical steel ("NOES"). It cites six countries of origin: China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan. Specific HTS codes and current duty rates are not stated in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported steel products may fall within the "non-oriented electrical steel" scope described in the underlying orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether any of the six named countries of origin apply to your sourcing.
- Check the existing antidumping and countervailing duty order details, since this review does not alter current duties while it is pending.
- Confirm with a licensed broker or trade counsel how the outcome of these reviews could affect future duty exposure.
