The Commerce Department is set to begin administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with September anniversary dates. Producers and exporters subject to administrative reviews on products from China or Vietnam must submit their separate rate certifications or applications on or about Nov. 18 in order to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.

Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates
In these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review, produced or exported by the companies named in Commerce's notice. It will also set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the final results of the review. The agency said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews by Sept. 30, 2025.
(See Commerce's notice for a full list of companies subject to these administrative reviews. Companies not listed will have their entries liquidated at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, and their cash deposit rates will not change.)

*Commerce initiated these reviews in a previous notice, but is now correcting company names or adding companies under review that were omitted in a previous notice.
Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam
All firms listed in the Commerce notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving non-market economy (NME) countries (China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification (if they had a separate rate in the most recent review of the company) or a Separate Rate Application (if they are newly applying for a separate rate). Otherwise, Commerce will find the company is not independent from state-control, and assign it to the China-wide or Vietnam-wide entity, which often has very high penalty rates. Certifications are due 30 calendar days after the publication of the notice (i.e., Nov. 18).
Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are available on Commerce's website.
Notices of No Sales During the Review Period
If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales or entries during the period of review, it must notify Commerce within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e., Nov. 18. (Commerce will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement certifying that it had no exports, sales or entries of subject merchandise during the period of review.)
Respondent Selection
If Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the agency will select respondents based on CBP data during the period of investigation. Respondent selection will be made within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., Nov. 18. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
