Preliminary CVD Decision Postponed to Aug 25, 2025
Commerce postponed the preliminary countervailing duty (CVD) determination in the investigation of certain monomers and oligomers from Taiwan. The investigation was initiated April 16, 2025, the preliminary determination was originally due no later than June 20, 2025, and Commerce is postponing that deadline to no later than August 25, 2025. The petitioner, Arkema, Inc., submitted a timely request on May 23, 2025 so Commerce can fully analyze questionnaire responses and issue supplemental questionnaires before the preliminary decision.
Final Determination Timing Remains 75 Days After Preliminary
Commerce states that the deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination. That means once the preliminary determination is issued (no later than August 25, 2025), the final CVD determination will be due 75 days afterward.
