The Department of Commerce has initiated administrative reviews of certain antidumping and countervailing duty orders and findings.

Exporters and producers seeking separate rate status must submit the required applications or certifications within set deadlines. The reviews are conducted according to regulations and involve a timeline for submitting additional information and responding to questionnaires.
