Countervailing Duty Order As noted above, on July 26, 2021, in accordance with section 705d of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of wind towers from Malaysia.3 Therefore, in accordance with section 705c2 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of wind towers from Malaysia are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Malaysia, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.
In accordance with section 706a of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant entries of wind towers from Malaysia. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITCs final affirmative injury determination, as further described below, countervailing duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of wind towers from Malaysia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 25, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.4
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of wind towers from Malaysia, as described in the appendix to this notice, effective on the date of publication of the ITCs final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706a1 of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below.
On or after the date of publication of the ITCs final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The all-others rate applies 3 Id.

Provisional Measures Section 703d of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination on March 25, 2021. Therefore, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on July 22, 2021.
In accordance with section 703d of the Act, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of wind towers from Malaysia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after July 22, 2021, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITCs final injury determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITCs final determination in the Federal Register.
