Corrosion Inhibitors From China; Institution of Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC has started five-year "sunset" reviews to decide whether existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on corrosion inhibitors from China should stay in place, so those duties remain in effect for now.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has instituted five-year reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on corrosion inhibitors from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states that interested parties are requested to respond by submitting the specified information to the Commission.

Who's affected: The notice names corrosion inhibitors from China (CN) as the products and country of origin at issue. Specific HTS codes are not stated in the text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products may fall within the scope of the corrosion inhibitors orders described in the notice.
- Confirm with your broker whether the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on China-origin corrosion inhibitors may be relevant to your entries.
- Check whether your company qualifies as an interested party that may wish to respond to the Commission within the notice's response window.
- Confirm current duty deposit and reporting obligations, since the notice indicates the orders remain in place during the reviews.
