For non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue collecting deposits at the all-others rate or the most recent company-specific rate as appropriate.
Assessment and Liquidation Timing
Commerce will direct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication (March 13, 2026).

Importer Certification Requirement
After publication of these final results, importers or their agents must continue to submit required AD/CVD certifications to CBP by uploading them into the document imaging system in CBP's Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) at the time of entry summary filing.
