CBP Assessment & Cash Deposit Timing Rules
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on covered entries at the listed ad valorem rates and to collect cash deposits for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication and, if a summons at the U.S. Court of International Trade is timely filed, CBP will not liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction period expires.
Countervailing Duties Begin July 24, 2026
The Department of Commerce found subsidies to certain Italian pasta producers and says extra duties on those pasta imports take effect July 24, 2026. If you buy imported Italian pasta in the U.S., those imports may face new countervailing duties starting on that date.
Company-Specific Duty Rates Announced
Commerce set final ad valorem countervailable subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023: DeMatteis Agroalimentare S.p.A. 3.32% and Pastificio Attilo Mastromauro-Granoro Srl 3.21%. Two non-examined companies (Antiche Tradizioni di Gragnano S.R.L. and Pastificio Sgambaro) have a review-specific rate of 3.32%.
