This order sets permanent AD on DOTP from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan and Turkey. Duties will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce, which may take place only under certain conditions, such as a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD on importers and make changes to AD cash deposit rates.
Gap Period of No AD Suspension of Liq or AD Duties for May 5-14
For these investigations, the six-month provisional measures period for which the AD suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is issued began on Nov. 5, 2024, the date of the preliminary determinations, and ended on May 4, 2025.
As the ITC's final affirmative injury determination was published May 15, Commerce is instructing CBP to terminate AD suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise entered on or after May 5 and through May 14 (the gap period).
(For subject merchandise from entered Nov. 5, 2024, through May 4, 2025, AD suspension of liquidation and AD liability remains in effect.)
AD Suspension of Liq, Cash Deposit Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after May 15, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published. AD cash deposit requirements also resume as of that date. Commerce will instruct CBP to require, at the same time that importers deposit estimated duties, a cash deposit equal to the AD rates listed below:
