On May 15, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced the final results of an antidumping duty administrative review covering non-refillable steel cylinders from the People's Republic of China. The review period ran from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024.
Commerce determined that Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd., identified as the sole mandatory respondent in the review, sold non-refillable steel cylinders from China at less than normal value during the period of review. This finding triggers the application or recalculation of antidumping duties on affected imports.
Who is affected
Importers bringing non-refillable steel cylinders from China into the United States are subject to these antidumping duties. The determination covers HS chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel), specifically non-refillable steel cylinders. Companies importing these products—whether as finished goods or components—must verify their supplier's status relative to the antidumping order and ensure their entered values comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements.
Duty determination and compliance
The final results indicate that normal value was exceeded, meaning dumping margins have been calculated. Importers and their customs brokers must ensure that duties are properly assessed on entries of non-refillable steel cylinders from China. Companies already importing these products should confirm that their brokers have updated their antidumping duty rates to reflect Commerce's final determination. Any entries made during or after the POR may be subject to post-entry adjustment.
"Commerce finds that Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd. (Wuyi Xilinde), the sole mandatory respondent in this review, sold non-refillable steel cylinders (steel cylinders) from the People's Republic of China (China) at less than normal value during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024."
