Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates

In these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review. It will also set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the review's final results. The agency said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews by July 31, 2026.

(See Commerce's notice for a full list of companies subject to these administrative reviews. Companies not listed will have their entries liquidated at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, and their cash deposit rates will not change.)

All firms listed in the Commerce notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving nonmarket economy (NME) countries (e.g., China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application to demonstrate independence from government control. Otherwise, they will be assigned the usually high country-wide rate. Certifications are due 14 calendar days after the publication of the notice (i.e., on or about Sept. 5). Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are on the Commerce website.

If Commerce rescinds the review for a company, then subject merchandise from that company will continue to enter at AD or CV duty cash deposit rates set in previous reviews.
