Wind Towers from Canada, Vietnam Keep Paying US Duties
Published Date: 1/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes (called countervailing duties) on big wind towers imported from Canada and Vietnam. This means these taxes won’t go away because the government believes the companies in those countries still get unfair help from their governments. These duties started in 2020 and will continue from January 9, 2026, protecting U.S. wind tower makers from unfair competition.

U.S. Wind Tower Makers Kept Protected
The Department of Commerce decided to keep countervailing duties on utility-scale wind towers from Canada and Vietnam in place effective January 9, 2026. These orders began in 2020 and Commerce found that revoking them would likely allow subsidized imports to continue, which Commerce says protects U.S. wind tower producers from unfair competition.
Importers Face Specific Duty Rates
Importers of utility-scale wind towers from Canada will face a net countervailable duty rate of 1.13 percent ad valorem (Marmen Inc. and all others). Importers of such towers from Vietnam will face a net countervailable duty rate of 2.84 percent ad valorem (CS Wind Vietnam and all others). These rates apply under the final results issued January 9, 2026.
