The Commerce Department issued its final determinations in its countervailing duty investigations on brake drums from China (C-570-175) and Turkey (C-489-854), after finding countervailable subsidization of producers and exporters in the two countries in the preliminary determinations of its CVD investigations.

Suspension of liquidation is currently not in effect for entries on or after April 2, 2025, with the exception of the Turkish company EKU, for which Commerce for the first set an above-zero CVD rate in this final determination. For China and all Turkish companies except EKU, Commerce will require cash deposits of estimated CVD on future entries only if it issues a CVD order.
For EKU, because Commerce increased its zero preliminary rate to 2.8% in its final determination, the agency will suspend liquidation for entries from EKU beginning June 18, and require a CVD cash deposit of 2.8%. Liquidation had already been suspended for EKU for antidumping duty purposes.
Commerce also issued final determinations in its concurrent AD investigations on brake drums from China and Turkey, setting AD rates ranging from 77.14% to 160.79% for Chinese exporters and 15.22% to 149.29% for Turkish exporters (see 2506170040).
CV Susp/Cash Deposit Through April 1
For now, Commerce has instructed CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise from China and all Turkish companies except EKU entered Dec. 3, 2024, through April 1, 2025.
CVD Liq Reinstated and No CVD Cash Deposit as of April 2
Commerce previously instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CVD purposes and the collection of CVD cash deposits for subject merchandise from China and all Turkish companies except EKU on or after April 2, the expiration date of the 120-day “provisional measures” period during which Commerce can suspend liquidation without a CVD order in place.
Suspension of liquidation currently remains in effect for AD purposes.
CV Liq to Be Suspended Again and CVD Cash Deposit Required If Order Issued
If the ITC issues a final affirmative injury determination, Commerce will issue a CVD order, reinstate the CVD suspension of liquidation for all exporters (except EKU, for which suspension of liquidation is currently in effect) and require a cash deposit of estimated CVD for entries of subject merchandise at the revised CVD rates listed below.
