Briefing calendar, assessment, and cash deposits
- Case briefs: due 21 days after publication, which by our count is October 26, 2026. File via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. ET.
- Rebuttal briefs: 5 days after case briefs. That date is Saturday, October 31, 2026, so under Commerce's next business day rule it moves to Monday, November 2, 2026 by our count.
- Hearing requests: within 30 days of publication via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. ET, which by our count is November 4, 2026.
- Final assessment: importer-specific assessment rates if the final margin is not zero or de minimis. Automatic assessment at the LTFV all-others rate for Interpipe-produced goods where Interpipe did not know the U.S. destination and there is no intermediary rate.
- Cash deposits: these are preliminary results. Deposit rates change only after final results. The all-others rate stays 7.47%.
- Importer reimbursement certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f) before liquidation of POR entries (AD only; this is an AD review). Failure can lead to a presumption of reimbursement and double AD duties.
AD assessments and cash deposits are not drawback-eligible (19 U.S.C. § 1677h; see AD/CVD drawback exclusion). Ordinary customs duties on the same entries can still be drawback-eligible when merchandise is exported or destroyed, so separate AD amounts from ordinary duty in claim math.
