No New Duties for 2024 Shipments
If you import utility-scale wind towers from Canada or make them in the U.S., Commerce has canceled the 2024 review because there were no shipments during January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024. That means you will not see any changes or new countervailing duty fees for the 2024 period; the rescission is effective April 29, 2026.
Cash Deposit Requirements Stay Same
Commerce says current cash deposit requirements for the countervailing duty order on Canadian utility-scale wind towers will remain in effect until further notice. If you pay cash deposits on these imports, your required deposit rate will not change as a result of this rescission.
Assessment Instructions to CBP After Rescission
Commerce will tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash deposit required at the time of entry. Commerce intends to issue those assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after this rescission notice is published in the Federal Register (this notice is applicable April 29, 2026).
