Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed subsidies given to Zhejiang Dingli Machinery and its affiliates, who make mobile access equipment from China, for the year 2022.

Analyzed Economic Effects

32.26% Subsidy Rate for Dingli
Commerce found countervailable subsidies for Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd. and its cross-owned affiliates and assigned an ad valorem subsidy rate of 32.26% for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. This rate was published in the final results applicable December 19, 2025 and names Zhejiang Dingli and its listed affiliates as subject to that rate.
Immediate Cash Deposit Collection
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the listed companies on shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication (December 19, 2025). These cash deposit requirements are effective upon publication and will remain in effect until further notice; for non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect the most recent company-specific or all-others rate as appropriate.
Assessment Instructions and Liquidation Timing
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries in accordance with these final results; Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to request a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
