Air cargo ACAS phased enforcement extended to May 1, 2027

The Enhanced ACAS phased enforcement period now runs through May 1, 2027, rather than ending November 21, 2026. CBP made the extension effective immediately and stated that it applies only to requirements promulgated through the Enhanced ACAS Interim Final Rule. The underlying ACAS rule requires advance submission of specified air-cargo data as early as practicable and no later than before loading cargo onto an aircraft destined for the United States.

The extension reaches air carriers, eligible filers, and other affected parties responsible for ACAS submissions. During the extended period, they must continue submitting data under existing regulatory requirements, promptly address CBP-identified data-quality issues, confirm that their systems can meet the technical specifications for full enforcement, and coordinate with CBP on implementation concerns. CBP will continue outreach, technical assistance, and data-quality monitoring during the extension; the notice does not state that these requirements are suspended or that requirements outside the Enhanced ACAS IFR are changed.

Polysilicon imports face MIPs and 15% section 232 duty from December 4

Minimum import prices and an additional 15 percent ad valorem duty will apply to specified polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, modules, and other derivatives entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after December 4, 2026. The minimum prices are $21 per kilogram for polysilicon, $100 per kilogram for ingots and wafers, $0.22 per watt for solar cells, and $0.38 per watt for solar modules. The 15 percent duty is subject to special rules for products of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

At entry, importers must submit documentation showing that the first arm's-length U.S. sale, or an applicable downstream sale, will occur at or above the applicable minimum import price, or that the sale is under fixed contract terms entered before August 6, 2026. Without that documentation, the merchandise faces a specific tariff equal to the applicable minimum import price; with documentation but an entered value below the minimum, the specific tariff equals the shortfall. The new duty and minimum-import-price rules reach only the products specified in Annexes I and II, which govern the precise merchandise scope. Materially inaccurate documentation or material failure to comply with the certification can lead to a permanent prohibition on the importer and its affiliates importing these products.

The additional section 232 duty and the Column 1 HTSUS rate together must equal 15 percent for covered products of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or a European Union member; the additional duty for covered products of the United Kingdom is 10 percent. The duties generally apply in addition to other duties, taxes, fees, exactions, and charges. Products subject to the proclamation generally may enter a foreign-trade zone only in privileged foreign status, while manufacturing drawback is available only for qualifying articles that are not subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order and meet the proclamation's Trade Agreement Partner and polysilicon-content conditions.

China aluminum extrusions: 164.29% CVD rates finalized for six companies

A 164.29 percent ad valorem countervailing duty rate now applies to subject aluminum extrusions produced or exported by Anji Chang Hong Chain Manufacturing, Assa Abloy (Zhongshan) Security Technology, Dezhou Huoamei Windows and Doors, Ewellix Motion Technologies, Ningbo Lianda Winch, and Shanghai Zesheng Automotive Technology for the January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024 period of review. Commerce states that the final results are applicable August 11, 2026, and that cash-deposit requirements are effective upon publication. The six rates are based entirely on adverse facts available.

The cash-deposit rule reaches subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 11, 2026. For the six listed companies, the company-specific rate applies; where producer and exporter rates differ, the higher rate applies, and where only one has a company-specific rate, that rate applies. All other producers and exporters continue at the 7.37 percent all-others rate. The order covers aluminum extrusions from China within the written scope, including specified shapes, finishes, fabrication, and certain components, but excludes the listed alloy products, finished goods and finished-goods kits, cast products, pure unwrought aluminum, qualifying containers, finished heat sinks, and specified rectangular wire. CBP will assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries covered by the review, with assessment instructions intended no earlier than September 15, 2026; if a timely summons is filed, liquidation of relevant entries is deferred until the period to request a statutory injunction expires, stated as within 90 days of publication.

Malaysia mattresses: 42.92 percent antidumping rates finalized

A 42.92 percent weighted-average dumping margin is final for CS Vision Supply SDN BHD, Orient GIC Global, Pinnacle Salute SDN BHD, Premier High Ventures, Lion YTT World, Weld Tack Industries, and non-selected companies receiving a review-specific rate. The cash-deposit requirements take effect on August 11, 2026, for mattresses from Malaysia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after that date. Commerce also determined that CBP shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries under the review results.

The entry-date line controls the cash deposit: covered shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption before August 11, 2026, are not within the new publication-date cash-deposit rule, while shipments on or after that date are. Merchandise from a company covered in a completed prior segment keeps its most recently completed company-specific rate; if only the producer is covered, that producer's rate applies, and all other producers or exporters receive the 42.92 percent all-others rate. The exact merchandise scope is governed by the Preliminary Results cited in the notice. Importers must file the reimbursement certificate before liquidation of relevant entries for the review period, or Commerce may presume reimbursement and assess double duties. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed, CBP is directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the period to request a statutory injunction expires, within 90 days of publication.

Spanish ripe olives: 3.54% final antidumping rates and 19.98% all-others rate

A 3.54 percent final weighted-average dumping margin applies to Agro Sevilla Aceitunas and Angel Camacho Alimentacion for the 2023–2024 review. Commerce states that CBP will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries and use the final results for future estimated-duty deposits. The cash-deposit requirements apply to ripe olives from Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 11, 2026.

For Angel Camacho, CBP will liquidate subject merchandise entered during the August 1, 2023–July 31, 2024 period of review at 3.54 percent. If Agro Sevilla produced or exported the merchandise but its sales were not reported and no intermediate-company rate applies, CBP will liquidate the entries at the 19.98 percent all-others rate. An importer-specific assessment rate below 0.5 percent is de minimis and results in liquidation without antidumping duties. Other producers or exporters not covered by the review, a prior review, or the original investigation continue to use the 19.98 percent cash-deposit rate; producer-specific and prior-segment rules apply where stated in the notice.

The notice identifies the covered products as ripe olives from Spain, but directs readers to the antidumping order and the Preliminary Results for the full scope description. Those instruments govern whether a particular product falls within the order, so the notice alone does not resolve product-specific scope questions.

Aluminum can stock: proposed retroactive revocation from sheet AD/CVD orders

Commerce preliminarily determined that changed circumstances warrant revoking the common alloy aluminum sheet antidumping and countervailing duty orders in part for certain aluminum can stock, with retroactivity applying to all unliquidated entries of that aluminum can stock. The proposed change is not yet a final revocation: Commerce published preliminary results and an intent to revoke, and stated that final results are still to come.

The proposed exclusion covers aluminum can stock suitable for making beverage cans, lids, or tabs; produced in gauges from 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm; having H-19, H-41, H-48, H-39, or H-391 temper; and having lubricant on its flat surfaces. The written description controls regardless of HTSUS classification, so qualifying can stock entered under classifications other than 7606.12.3045 or 7606.12.3055 could fall within the proposed exclusion, while common alloy sheet outside that description remains covered. Interested parties may file case briefs by August 25, 2026, rebuttal briefs by August 30, 2026, and hearing requests by August 25, 2026; ACCESS filings must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the applicable due date.

Chinese R-32 antidumping order continues; cash deposits remain due

The antidumping duty order on difluoromethane (R-32) from China continues effective August 4, 2026, because Commerce and the ITC determined that revocation would likely lead to continued or recurring dumping and material injury. CBP will continue collecting antidumping cash deposits at the rates in effect when the subject merchandise enters. The notice does not state numeric deposit rates.

The order reaches R-32 or its chemical equivalent from China, regardless of form, type, or purity, including specified R-32 processed in a third country or the United States. Certain blends are covered at the stated R-32 volume thresholds, and only the R-32 component of a covered mixture is subject; merchandise covered by the separate hydrofluorocarbon-blends order is excluded. The written scope controls over the listed tariff classifications.
