You may have already heard that a notice was published by the US Department of Commerce on September 7, 2021. And its main focus is to create some new administrative reviews for importers under countervailing and antidumping (AD/CVD) orders.

With that being said, there are some countries and products that were integrated into the notice. Importers and other global trade partners should take a close look at these updates, in order to reduce any delays or fines caused by documentation errors or non-compliance.

Ukraine
This was to be expected, since this type of goods has been regulated and reviewed quite a bit in recent times. Now Ukraine is the one that needs to tackle this particular situation with the Oil Country Tubular Goods (Aβ823β815).Β
Turkey
In the case of Turkey, there are 2 products to be reviewed. These include Certain Pasta (Cβ489β806) and the Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar (Aβ489β829/Cβ489β830). They are normal to tackle in such a situation, and an important thing to take into consideration.
China
For China, there are multiple items to consider. We have some Steel Grating (Aβ570β947), Chloropicrin (Aβ570β002), Xanthan Gum (Aβ570β985), Corrosion β Resistant Steel Products (Aβ570β026) and the Collated Steel Staples (Aβ570β112/Cβ570β113).
Thailand
For Thailand, they are only issuing administrative reviews for the Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts (Aβ549β833). Thatβs the only item under review, at least for now.
Taiwan
Taiwanβs focus is on Polyethylene Terephthalate (Pet) Film (Aβ583β837), Corrosion β Resistant Steel Products (Aβ583β856) and various Steel Nails (Aβ583β854).
Vietnam
Vietnam is also with administrative reviews for the Steel Nails (Aβ552β818/Cβ552β819). This is the only product under review for now.
Republic of Korea
Here we have the Steel Nails (Aβ580β874), as well as Corrosion β Resistant Steel Products (Aβ580β878), at least for the time being.
Malaysia and Oman
We grouped these countries together because they both have the same restriction, for Steel Nails (Aβ557β816) and Steel Nails (Aβ523β808) respectively.
Japan
Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products (Aβ588β873) are the items under administrative review in Japan, and itβs the only item for now.
Italy
Interestingly, Italy is now under administrative review for certain types of Pasta (Aβ475β818/Cβ475β819).
IndiaΒ
For India, thereβs a review regarding Polyethylene Terephthalate (Pet) Film (Aβ533β824/Cβ533β825) and Fine Denier Polyester Staple Fiber (Aβ533β875).
Columbia and Belgium
They both have reviews for Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts (Aβ301β803) and Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts (Aβ423β813).
Having a deep understanding of these administrative reviews is very important, as they are critical to the heal of a business’ supply chain.
At this time, these are the new administrative reviews to focus on in order to maintain your compliance and business efficiency (read: your bottom line!). That being said, we are expecting new updates to arrive later on, as time goes by, as the Department of Commerce is constantly reviewing these orders.
Only time can tell what can change, but itβs important to be up to date with the latest orders.
