Ripe Olives From Spain: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2023
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Spanish olive producers got special government help (subsidies) in 2023, which affects how much duty they pay when selling olives in the U.S. They also stopped reviewing two companies for now. This means importers and sellers should watch for final decisions soon, as it could change costs and rules starting February 10, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.
Preliminary Subsidy Rates Announced
Commerce preliminarily found countervailable subsidies for ripe olives from Spain for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 and assigned net ad valorem subsidy rates of 5.00% to Agro Sevilla Aceitunas S.Coop And. and 20.10% to Angel Camacho Alimentación, S.L. (and its cross-owned affiliates). These preliminary rates apply to entries covered by this review and may affect importers of these companies when final results are published.
Two Companies' Reviews Rescinded
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in part for Aceitunas Guadalquivir, S.L. (Guadalquivir) because the company timely withdrew its review request, and for Alimentary Group DCoop, S.Coop. And. (DCoop) because there were no reviewable, suspended entries during January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. For those rescinded companies, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties at the cash-deposit rate required at the time of entry for entries during that period.
Cash Deposit Collection Rule
Commerce intends, upon publication of final results, to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts calculated in the final results on shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the date of publication. If the final rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required for shipments entered on or after that date. For non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect deposits at the all-others rate or the most recent company-specific rate.
Timing: Assessment and Liquidation Delays
Commerce will issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results, and 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 statutory injunction period expires (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
