The orders, published Aug. 27, set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

In its final injury determination, rather than making its usual finding of ongoing injury to U.S. producers, the ITC found U.S. industry is "materially retarded" by imports of Chinese tungsten shot (see 2508070005). As the ITC didn't find actual injury to U.S. producers during the period of investigation, Commerce can no longer impose AD/CVD on subject merchandise entered during the investigation. As such, Commerce will end suspension of liquidation and refund all AD cash deposits on tungsten shot from Mexico entered Feb. 19 - Aug. 24, 2025, and all CVD cash deposits on entries Dec. 20, 2024 - Aug. 24, 2025. Such entries will not be liable for AD/CVD assessments.
AD/CVD Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after Aug. 25, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.
