Turkey's special oil pipes unfairly boosted, shutdowns delay justice
Published Date: 9/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Borusan, a Turkish company making special oil pipes, got unfair government help during 2024. This means extra taxes might be added to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. The review started in late 2025, and deadlines shifted due to government shutdowns, so watch for updates soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash deposit rules and de minimis cutoff
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for subject shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. Cash deposits will equal the company-specific final rate except that any rate less than 0.50 percent is treated as de minimis (deposit set to zero); if producer and exporter rates differ the higher rate applies; the all-others rate for other producers/exporters remains 9.21 percent.
Preliminary subsidy rate for Borusan
Commerce preliminarily found that Borusan received countervailable subsidies and preliminarily assigned a net subsidy rate of 0.63 percent ad valorem for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. These are preliminary results published September 15, 2026 and could lead to duties in the final results.
Timing of duty assessment and liquidation hold
Commerce will direct CBP to assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries upon issuance of the final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time to seek a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication).
