The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties that will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce, which may only take place under certain conditions, such as a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CV duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The orders detail a “gap period” of no CV duty liability for subject merchandise that was entered July 18, 2023, through Nov. 15, 2023, and of no AD liability for subject merchandise entered Nov. 13, 2023, through Nov. 15, 2023. Commerce may only suspend liquidation for a four-month period after its preliminary CV duty determination, issued March 20, 2023, and for six months after its preliminary AD duty determination, issued May 17, 2023. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD or CVD, any entries during these respective gap periods. Subject merchandise entered during the CVD gap period but outside the AD gap period (i.e., July 18, 2023, through Nov. 12, 2023) will only be assessed AD duties.
