The U.S. International Trade Commission is conducting expedited reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to decide if removing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on vertical metal file cabinets from China would cause harm to U.S. industries.

The Commission has also extended the review period by up to 90 days due to the complexity of the case. Interested parties can submit comments by May 1, 2025, but they must follow specific guidelines, and no new facts can be included in submissions.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel wheels from China, which are 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter.

This decision is part of the sunset review process, which revisits such orders to decide if they should be continued. The Commerce Department did not receive any significant responses from Chinese manufacturers, leading to this expedited review and conclusion.
