Korean CTL plate: preliminary 1.14% CVD rate and rescission for 54 companies

A preliminary 1.14% ad valorem countervailing-duty subsidy rate now applies to POSCO Co., Ltd. for the January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024 period of review. Commerce has not issued final results: after the review is completed, Commerce will determine and CBP will assess duties on appropriate entries, while the preliminary rate provides the current basis for the proceeding rather than a final assessment rate.

The review covers subject carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Korea, but the notice sends the complete product scope to the CVD order and Preliminary Decision Memorandum, so this notice alone does not resolve whether a particular product is covered. Commerce rescinded the review for 54 named companies because CBP data showed no reviewable suspended entries during the period; for those companies, Commerce intends to direct assessment at the cash-deposit rate required when the goods entered or were withdrawn for consumption during that period.

For shipments of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after publication of the final results, the intended POSCO cash-deposit rate will be the final company-specific rate, or zero if that rate is below the 0.50% de minimis threshold. If producer and exporter rates differ, the higher rate applies; if only one has a company-specific rate, that rate applies; all other producers and exporters continue at 3.72%. The POSCO rate also reaches its five identified cross-owned companies and POSCO International when POSCO produced the merchandise. Interested parties seeking a hearing must file through ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after publication.

Malaysia PRCBs: 0.00% review margin and 84.94% residual cash deposit

A 0.00 percent weighted-average dumping margin now applies to Euro SME Sdn Bhd and Euro Nature Green Sdn. Bhd. for the August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024 review period. Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate reviewed entries without regard to antidumping duties, and the cash-deposit requirements apply to covered merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 7, 2026.

The rule reaches polyethylene retail carrier bags from Malaysia covered by the order, but the notice sends the complete merchandise scope to its Issues and Decision Memorandum, so the reader must use that memorandum to decide whether a product is covered. For Euro SME merchandise, the company-specific cash-deposit rate is 0.00 percent; companies covered by a prior completed segment retain their most recently published company-specific rate, and a reviewed producer can determine the rate when the exporter is not covered. All other producers or exporters remain subject to an 84.94 percent cash-deposit rate. For unreviewed entries during the period of review produced by Euro SME without knowledge of U.S. destination, CBP will use the 84.94 percent all-others rate if no intermediate-company rate exists. Importers must file the reimbursement certificate before liquidation or risk double-duty treatment.

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the period for requesting a statutory injunction expires, which the notice states is within 90 days of publication.

Türkiye CWP preliminary review margin set at 4.91 percent; comments due August 28

A 4.91 percent preliminary weighted-average dumping margin applies to the combined Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. and Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. entity for the May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025 period of review. The margin is preliminary: Commerce will determine and CBP will assess duties under the final results, and the final margin will establish the future cash-deposit rate for the covered company. The notice does not change the duty owed on entries today.

Interested parties must file case briefs through ACCESS no later than August 28, 2026, and rebuttal briefs no later than September 2, 2026; a filing must be successfully received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the applicable deadline. A hearing request must be filed through ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 6, 2026, and must identify the requesting party, participants, and issues. The notice identifies CWP from Türkiye as the covered merchandise, but states that the complete scope is in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, so this notice alone does not resolve whether a particular product is within scope. If final results impose a non-de minimis rate, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates; a rate below 0.50 percent is de minimis, while the all-others cash-deposit rate remains 14.74 percent unless another listed company-specific or manufacturer rate applies.

Canadian softwood lumber: 1.05% CVD rate reinstates D&G/Portbec coverage

A 1.05 percent ad valorem countervailing duty rate now applies to subject softwood lumber produced and exported by Les Produits Forestiers D&G Ltée and Les Produits Forestiers Portbec Ltée. Commerce amended the expedited-review results after the Court of International Trade sustained the remand determination, and the companies' rate is above de minimis. The reinstatement operates on August 6, 2026, the publication date of this notice.

The operative line is the combination of producer/exporter identity and entry timing: the notice reaches subject merchandise produced and exported by D&G/Portbec that is entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 6, 2026. Commerce will instruct CBP to collect estimated CVD cash deposits at 1.05 percent on those shipments, and the deposit requirement remains in effect until further notice. The notice states no separate exception or carve-out for this reinstated coverage.

Turkish OCTG: 0.80% CVD rate for Borusan and cash deposits from August 6

A 0.80% ad valorem countervailing-duty rate now applies to Borusan Birleşik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. for the 2023 review period. Commerce states that CBP will assess duties on appropriate entries and will collect estimated cash deposits for subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after August 6, 2026.

The rule turns on the company and entry date. Covered OCTG from Türkiye associated with Borusan, including its identified cross-owned companies BMB Holding A.Ş. and Borusan Holding, is subject to the 0.80% rate; non-reviewed firms remain subject to the all-others rate or their most recent company-specific rate, as appropriate. The notice says the Issues and Decision Memorandum supplies the complete scope of the order, so this notice alone does not resolve whether a particular product is covered. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the period to request a statutory injunction expires, stated as 90 days after publication.

Ecuador shrimp exporters receive final CVD cash deposit rates of 15.17%, 2.21%, and 2.25%

Cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties begin for covered Ecuadorian frozen warmwater shrimp entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 6, 2026. Commerce assigned Empacadora del Pacifico S.A. a 15.17% rate, Nirsa S.A./Procesadora Posorja S.A. a 2.21% rate, and Productos Perecibles y Mariscos S.A. a 2.25% rate. The final results do not determine assessment of countervailing duties.

The new cash-deposit rule turns on the entry or warehouse-withdrawal date: shipments of subject merchandise from the listed companies on or after August 6 require deposits at the stated company-specific rate, while the notice does not state that these final results change deposits for earlier shipments. The merchandise covered is shrimp from Ecuador, but the complete order scope is in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which governs whether a particular product is subject merchandise. The notice does not provide a rate for other producers or exporters.

Polysilicon imports face minimum prices and up to 15 percent additional duty

A minimum import price of $21 per kilogram for polysilicon, $100 per kilogram for polysilicon ingots and wafers, $0.22 per watt for solar cells, and $0.38 per watt for solar modules, together with an additional 15 percent ad valorem duty, will apply to covered goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after December 4, 2026. The duties continue unless expressly reduced, modified, or terminated. (White House; White House)

The rule reaches the polysilicon, ingots, wafers, solar cells, and solar modules identified in Annexes I and II, with the listed HTSUS provisions and Chapter 99 headings governing the covered scope. Importers must submit entry documentation establishing that the first arm’s-length U.S. sale will meet the applicable minimum import price or that the sale follows fixed terms in a contract entered into before August 6, 2026. Without that documentation, the specific tariff equals the applicable minimum import price; with documentation but an entered value below the minimum, the specific tariff equals the difference. Products of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or the European Union receive an additional rate that brings the Column 1 duty rate and the additional rate to 15 percent, while products of the United Kingdom receive a 10 percent additional rate. (White House; White House)

The duties apply in addition to other applicable duties, taxes, fees, and charges, and covered goods admitted to a foreign-trade zone on or after December 4, 2026 generally must enter in privileged foreign status rather than domestic status, subject to the stated domestic-status exception. Manufacturing drawback is available only when the article is not subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order, is a product of a listed Trade Agreement Partner, and contains polysilicon entirely from a Trade Agreement Partner country. CBP will monitor the entry certifications and may permanently prohibit a noncompliant importer and its affiliates from importing covered products, in addition to imposing penalties consistent with applicable law.

Tin mill products from Taiwan and Türkiye: preliminary AD determinations delayed to November 5

The preliminary less-than-fair-value determinations for tin mill products from Taiwan and the Republic of Türkiye are postponed by 50 days, from the previously scheduled September 16, 2026 deadline to no later than November 5, 2026. Commerce issued the postponement after receiving the petitioners’ timely July 29 request and finding no compelling reason to deny it. The notice does not establish a preliminary duty rate or cash-deposit rate.

The revised deadline applies to the two ongoing investigations covering tin mill products from Taiwan and the Republic of Türkiye. It changes the investigation timetable, not the treatment of unrelated products, countries, or entries outside those investigations. The final determinations remain due 75 days after the preliminary determinations unless Commerce postpones them later, so the final-date calculation depends on when the preliminary determinations are issued and whether another postponement occurs.

If Commerce issues the preliminary determinations on November 5, 2026, the stated 75-day period would place the final-determination deadline on January 19, 2027; the notice does not make that date unconditional because it permits a later postponement. Parties tracking potential trade-remedy consequences should therefore use November 5 as the operative outside date for the preliminary determinations and continue monitoring for the final determinations and any further scheduling action.

India CVP-23 CVD order revoked; earlier entries remain subject

The countervailing duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India is revoked because no domestic interested party responded to the fourth sunset review. Commerce states that the revocation is applicable August 7, 2026, and intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate suspension of liquidation for covered merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after June 15, 2026.

The scope covers CVP-23 identified by Color Index No. 51319 and Chemical Abstract No. 6358-30-1, including crude pigment in any form and finished pigment as presscake or dry color. Pigment dispersions are excluded, and the written scope description controls over the HTSUS classification. Entries made before June 15, 2026 remain subject to suspension of liquidation and CVD deposit requirements, although Commerce may conduct administrative reviews for those entries if review requests are properly filed.

The notice states that Commerce intends to issue instructions to CBP, but it does not state that CBP has already received or implemented those instructions. That implementation status remains material for entries that otherwise fall within the covered product description, so filers should distinguish the notice's revocation from the separate administrative step that terminates suspension in the customs system.

CVP-23 from India and China: AD orders revoked for entries from June 15, 2026

The antidumping duty orders on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India and the People's Republic of China are revoked. Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate suspension of liquidation for covered merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after June 15, 2026. The revocation follows the absence of a domestic interested-party response in the sunset reviews.

The scope covers CVP-23 identified as Color Index No. 51319 and Chemical Abstract No. 6358-30-1, including crude pigment in any form and finished pigment as presscake or dry color. Pigment dispersions in any form are excluded, and the written scope description controls over the HTSUS reference. Entries before June 15, 2026 remain subject to suspension of liquidation and AD deposit requirements, and Commerce may conduct administrative reviews for those entries if a review request is properly filed.
