For a complete description of the scope of these orders, <E T="03">see</E> the appendix to this notice. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Antidumping Duty Orders</HD> Based on the affirmative final determinations by the ITC that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye sold at LTFV, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these AD orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of brake drums entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 29, 2025, the date of publication of the <E T="03">Preliminary Determinations.</E> <SU>3</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>3</SU>   <E T="03">See Certain Brake Drums from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures,</E> 90 FR 8383 (January 29, 2025), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM); <E T="03">see also Certain Brake Drums from the Republic of Türkiye: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination, and Extension of Provisional Measures,</E> 90 FR 8377 (January 29, 2024), and accompanying PDM (collectively, <E T="03">Preliminary Determinations</E> ). </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits</HD> Except as noted in the “Provisional Measures” section of this notice, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> . These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
