USITC to conduct full sunset reviews of the AD/CVD orders on twist ties from China (Inv. 701-TA-649 and 731-TA-1523)
The USITC determined that it will conduct full five-year reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on twist ties from China, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-649 and 731-TA-1523 (Review). The Commission will decide whether revoking the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The review schedule will be set at a later date.
The orders stay in the sunset-review lane. Importers and customers sourcing China-origin twist ties should hold duty-continuation assumptions, sourcing alternatives, and customer-quote validity in place until the schedule and final outcome are known.

USITC revises the final-phase schedule for chromium trioxide from India and Türkiye (Inv. 701-TA-779 and 731-TA-1765-1766)
The USITC revised the final-phase schedule in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on chromium trioxide from India and Türkiye, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-779 and 731-TA-1765-1766 (Final). Commerce had postponed its final AD determination on Türkiye to October 5, 2026 to align with the postponed India determinations, and the Commission conformed its schedule. The revised schedule sets the prehearing staff report for September 15, 2026, prehearing briefs for September 22, hearing-appearance requests for September 23, and the hearing for September 29. Posthearing briefs are due October 7, the final information release follows on October 26, and final party comments are due October 28, 2026.
This is a deadline-management signal. Parties to the chromium trioxide investigations should refresh hearing, prehearing-brief, posthearing-brief, and final-comment calendars and update any cash-deposit, injury, and landed-cost assumptions tied to the matter.

Trina Solar Thailand contests dismissal and a preliminary injunction at the CIT (Court No. 25-00166)
The docket in Trina Solar Science & Technology (Thailand) Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 25-00166, at the U.S. Court of International Trade shows an interlocutory filing involving dismissal and preliminary-injunction briefing. The underlying filing is not yet in the public record, so treat this as a docket signal rather than a merits read.
The exposure runs through liquidation, duty suspension, and any preliminary relief affecting entries tied to the named Thai producer. Solar supply-chain parties should track the next docket step and avoid assuming the outcome.

CIT sustains Commerce's remand redetermination on steel racks from China (Slip Op. 26-67)
In Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co. v. United States (Court No. 24-00085, Slip Op. 26-67, June 23, 2026), the U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's remand redetermination in the antidumping administrative review of certain steel racks from China for the 2021 to 2022 period. On remand, Commerce accepted Nanjing's separate rate certification, treated Nanjing as a mandatory respondent, and assigned a 25 percent weighted-average dumping margin. The court held that Nanjing waived its scrap-offset argument by failing to exhaust administrative remedies.
The remand result fixes a 25 percent margin for Nanjing and forecloses the scrap-offset claim at this stage. Importers and counsel in the steel racks proceeding should record the sustained margin and check appeal timing and liquidation posture for affected entries.
