US rescinds countervailing duty review on Chinese aluminum wire & cable
The U.S. Department of Commerce has rescinded its administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order covering aluminum wire and cable from China for the 2023 review period (January 1–December 31, 2023). This action affects importers of these products subject to existing CVD orders, potentially altering duty calculations and compliance obligations for the reviewed period.

On June 4, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce rescinded its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on aluminum wire and cable from the People's Republic of China. The rescission covers the period of review (POR) from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.
Administrative reviews of CVD orders are routine Commerce proceedings conducted to assess whether countervailing duties should be adjusted based on current subsidy rates and economic conditions. The rescission of this particular review means Commerce has determined not to proceed with recalculating or reassessing the CVD rates for Chinese aluminum wire and cable during that review period.
"The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum wire and cable from the People's Republic of China (China). The period of review (POR) is January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023." — Federal Register, June 4, 2026
Who is affected: Importers, distributors, and end-users of aluminum wire and cable products sourced from China are affected by this decision. Companies relying on existing CVD duty rates for 2023 shipments should verify whether the rescission impacts their landed-cost calculations or compliance obligations.
What changes: The rescission means that duty rates previously in place for the 2023 review period remain effective without modification through this administrative action. Importers should confirm which HS codes their products fall under and whether they are subject to the existing CVD order.
What this means for shippers
Verify immediately whether your aluminum wire and cable shipments from China fall under the rescinded CVD order by checking the exact HS classification (Chapter 74 products, typically HS 7408 or 7409). Contact your customs broker or freight forwarder to confirm current duty rates and ensure your 2023 landed-cost models reflect the maintained CVD rates. Check /hs-codes/search to confirm your product classification and validate applied duties.
