The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on steel propane cylinders from China and the existing antidumping order on steel propane cylinders from Thailand would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of these products from China and Thailand will remain in place.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report on Steel Propane Cylinders from China and Thailand (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-607 and 731-TA-1417 and 1419 (Review), USITC Publication 5638, June 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by July 24, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Steel Propane Cylinders from China and Thailand were instituted on July 1, 2024.
On October 4, 2024, the Commission determined to conduct full five-year reviews. Regarding Thailand, Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group response and the respondent interested party group response were both adequate, and voted for a full review. Regarding China, Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group response was adequate, and the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. Having determined to conduct a full review with respect to Thailand, however, they also voted to conduct full reviews with respect to China to promote administrative efficiency.
A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct full reviews is available on the investigations page for Steel Propane Cylinders from China and Thailand; Inv. No. 701-TA-607 and 731-TA-1417 and 1419 (Review).
