  • 2026-10-10 · Edited before publication: Margin of 6.47%, the 11.16% all-others rate, the 18 July 2024 order and the briefing deadlines are all grounded. The claim that deadlines were extended 'four times' is not in the source, which says only that Commerce extended the preliminary results deadline between June and September 2026; key fact corrected.
