The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published notice to the public in the Federal Register of August 28, 2026 that the U.S. Court of International Trade's (CIT) final judgment was not in harmony with Commerce's covered merchandise inquiry (CMI) determination. Specifically, Commerce amended the CMI determination to find that products cut to length and formed into the rough shape of certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld pipe fittings) in the People's Republic of China (China) represent "unfinished" fittings, which are covered by the scope of the Order, and that when such products are further processed in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), they remain subject to the antidumping (AD) order on butt- weld pipe fittings from China. This notice did not provide clear notice to parties that the liquidation of entries of these unfinished fittings will be retroactively suspended.
