Assessment and cash deposits
Commerce will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates. Zero or de minimis rates (below 0.5 percent) liquidate without AD. Automatic assessment for TYCSA entries sold via intermediaries without knowledge of U.S. destination uses the all-others rate of 14.75% if no intermediary rate exists. Assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication (by our count, no earlier than November 30, 2026). If a timely CIT summons is filed, CBP is directed not to liquidate until the statutory injunction request period expires (within 90 days of publication).
Cash deposits for entries on or after publication: TYCSA 13.57%; previously reviewed or investigated firms keep their most recent company-specific rates; all others 14.75%. Reimbursement certificate reminder under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). For the October opportunity to request other admin reviews, see AD/CVD October admin review opportunity 2026. For another recent AD review final, see India welded stainless pressure pipe AD review final 2023-2024.
AD duties are not drawback-eligible (19 U.S.C. 1677h). Ordinary customs duties on the same entries can still qualify when merchandise is exported or destroyed (or used to manufacture exported goods) and the claim otherwise qualifies. See AD/CVD drawback exclusion and how to file a duty drawback claim.
