For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (July 16, 2026), Commerce set cash deposit requirements using the published rates above. Commerce will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication, will use importer‑specific ad valorem rates where reliable entered values exist, will use per‑unit rates when entered values were not reported, and considers an ad valorem rate de minimis at 0.50% or below.
No‑Shipment Findings and Liquidation at China‑Wide Rate
Commerce determined that Deosen Biochemical Ltd. made no shipments of subject merchandise during the review period (July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024). For companies with final no‑shipment determinations, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter’s case number will be liquidated at the China‑wide entity rate of 154.07%.
