U.S. Opens Five-Year Reviews of Existing Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties
The U.S. Department of Commerce has automatically started five-year reviews, known as sunset reviews, of several anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders and suspended investigations. A duty is a tax on imported goods, and anti-dumping duties target goods sold abroad below fair value. The U.S. International Trade Commission is publishing a matching notice on the same orders at the same time.

What does it mean?
Some import taxes the U.S. put in place to protect local companies are being checked to see whether they should stay. Every five years these measures expire unless officials review them, so this review is the step that decides whether they continue.
Who is affected?
U.S. producers that rely on these trade protections and importers of the goods covered by the listed orders.
