US anti-dumping review window: May deadlines for administrative requests
The US International Trade Commission published a Federal Register notice on 4 May 2026 announcing the opportunity for interested parties to request administrative reviews of existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders, findings, or suspended investigations. The notice sets deadlines for filing review requests and joining the annual inquiry service list, with specific procedures for how review petitions must be formatted and submitted. Exporters, importers, and domestic producers affected by existing trade remedy orders must act within the specified window to preserve their review rights.

On 4 May 2026, the Federal Register published notice that interested parties may request administrative reviews of existing US antidumping or countervailing duty orders, findings, or suspended investigations. This is the annual opportunity window during which exporters, importers, domestic producers, and other interested parties can petition the US Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission to review the terms of standing trade remedy orders.
Administrative reviews are crucial for parties seeking to:
- Challenge the continued applicability of duties to their products
- Update the factual basis for duty rates or scope determinations
- Exit an order or narrow its application
- Join the formal inquiry service list to receive future notices
The notice requires that review requests follow specified formatting and procedural requirements. Parties must identify the relevant order(s), the company(ies) for which review is requested, and the legal and factual grounds for the request.
Who Must Act
Exporters subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders—whether the order targets their home country generally or specific companies—must file a review request during this window if they wish to challenge the order in the current review cycle. Importers who believe they have paid excess duties, and domestic competitors who want to defend an order's continued enforcement, are also eligible to request review.
What This Means for Shippers
If your shipments are subject to any active US antidumping or countervailing duty order, you must file an administrative review request by the deadline stated in the Federal Register notice or lose the opportunity for this year's review cycle. Contact your customs broker or legal counsel immediately to identify all applicable orders and prepare your petition—the cost of missing this window is a year's delay before the next review opportunity, during which duties remain in force. Review the Federal Register notice for the exact submission deadline and format requirements, then act within days, not weeks. /sanctions-screen
