Methodology
Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with
section 731 of the Act. We calculated export prices in accordance with
section 772(a) of the Act and normal value in accordance with section
773 of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the
Act, Commerce has preliminarily based the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) on facts otherwise
available, with adverse inferences. In addition, pursuant to section
776(a) of the Act, Commerce has preliminarily based the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin for Jinjing Technology Malaysia Sdn.
Bhd. (Jinjing Malaysia) on facts otherwise available, in part. For a
full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in
Part
In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206,
Commerce preliminarily finds that critical circumstances do not exist
for Jinjing Malaysia, Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (Xinyi
Malaysia), and all other producers and exporters not individually
examined. However, Commerce found that critical circumstances exist for
NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass). For a full description of Commerce's
critical circumstances analysis, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in
the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated
all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually
examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that
are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the
Act.
In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-
average dumping margins for Jinjing Malaysia and Xinyi Malaysia that
are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise
available. Accordingly, Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a
weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents using each company's publicly-
ranged total U.S. sale values for the merchandise under
consideration.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a
simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average
of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the
examined respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sales
values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters.
See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662
(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum
at Comment 1. For a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum,
``All-Others Rate Calculation,'' dated concurrently with this
notice.

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Float Glass Products from Malaysia: Preliminary
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final
Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 90 FR 21278
(May 19, 2025), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at
Appendix.
\10\ After Commerce selected ``Xinyi Energy Smart (M) SDN BHD''
as a mandatory respondent, the company clarified that its legal name
is Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. See Memorandum,
``Respondent Selection,'' dated February 18, 2025; see also ``Xinyi
Malaysia's Response to the Fifth Sales Supplemental Questionnaire,''
dated June 26, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation
of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. to require a cash
deposit for estimated antidumping duties equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin, as follows: (1) for merchandise
exported by the respondents listed in the table above, the cash deposit
rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average
dumping margin, appropriately adjustment for export subsidy offsets,
determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is
not a respondent identified in the table above, but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific
estimated weighted-average dumping margin, appropriately adjusted for
export subsidy offsets, established for that producer of the subject
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and
exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average
dumping margin, appropriately adjusted for export subsidy offsets, in
this preliminary determination.
Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that where there is an
affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of
liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
later of: (a) the date which is 90 days before the date on which the
suspension of liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which
notice of initiation of the investigation was published. Commerce
preliminarily finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of
subject merchandise produced or exported by NSG (Malaysian Sheet
Glass). In accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the
suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements shall apply to
unliquidated entries of shipments of subject merchandise produced or
exported by NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) that were entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date which is 90 days
before the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export
subsidies countervailed in a companion countervailing duty (CVD)
proceeding, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly,
where Commerce preliminarily made an affirmative determination for
countervailable export subsidies, Commerce has offset the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate countervailed export
subsidy rate. Any such adjusted estimated weighted-average dumping
margin is listed in the ``Preliminary Determination'' section above.
Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation
expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV
investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting estimated
antidumping duty cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins calculated in this preliminary
determination unadjusted for export subsidies at the time the CVD
provisional measures expire. These suspension of liquidation
instructions and cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until
further notice.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed in this preliminary determination to parties to the
proceeding within five days of any public announcement or, if there is
no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce will analyze and, if
appropriate, correct any timely allegations of significant ministerial
errors by amending the preliminary determination. However, consistent
with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will not consider incomplete
allegations that do not address the significance standard under 19 CFR
351.224(g) following the preliminary determination. Instead, Commerce
will address such allegations in the final determination together with
issues raised in the case briefs or other written comments.
Verification
As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to
verify the information relied upon in making its final determination.
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments on non-scope issues may be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no
later than seven days after the date on which the last verification
report is issued in
[[Page 31608]]
this investigation. A timeline for the submission of case briefs and
written comments will be notified to interested parties at a later
date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may
be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case
briefs.\11\ Interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in
this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each
issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings Commerce has encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this investigation, we instead request
that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a
public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\13\
Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive
summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including
citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final determination in this investigation. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce
has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of
documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\14\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a
foreign national; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. If a
request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at
a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone
the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the
scheduled date.
Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional
Measures
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination
may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the
publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register
if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request
for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the
event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of
Commerce's regulations requires that a request by exporters for
postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for
extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period
not more than six months in duration.
In June 2025, Jinjing Malaysia and Xinyi Malaysia requested that
Commerce postpone the final determination and that the provisional
measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.\15\ In
accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce
will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date
of publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal
Register.

Final Determination,'' dated June 16, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify
the ITC of its preliminary determination of sales at LTFV. If the final
determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later
of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days
after the final determination whether these imports are materially
injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.
Notification to Interested Parties
This preliminary determination is issued and published in
accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers float glass products
(FGP), which are articles of soda-lime-silica glass that are
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a
smooth bath of tin (or another liquid metal with a density greater
than molten glass), cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, and
cutting it to appropriate dimensions. For purposes of the
investigation, float glass products have an actual thickness of at
least 2.0 mm (0.0787 inches) and an actual surface area of at least
0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet).
The country of origin of each float glass product is determined
by the location where the soda-lime-silica glass is first
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a
smooth bath of tin and cooling the glass in an annealing lehr,
regardless of the location of any downstream finishing or
fabrication operations.
Prior to being subjected to further treatment, finishing, or
fabrication, float glass products meet the requirements of Type I
under ASTM-C1036 of the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM).
Float glass products may be clear, stained, tinted, or coated
with one or more materials. Examples of coated float glass products
include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass with a low emissivity
coating to limit the penetration of radiant heat energy) and
frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver, aluminum, or
other reflective layer) such as mirror stock sheet.
Float glass products may be annealed, chemically strengthened,
heat strengthened, or tempered to achieve a desired surface
compression, pursuant to ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, or other
similar specifications.
Float glass products include tub and shower enclosures (i.e.,
doors and panels) made of tempered glass, which may be sold with
attached or unattached hardware. In such cases, the scope covers
only the tempered glass, to the exclusion of any non-glass hardware.
The only float glass product assemblies included within the
scope are: (1) articles consisting of two of more sheets of float
glass that are bonded together using a polymer interlayer (i.e.,
laminated glass); (2) insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist
of two or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material
and hermetically sealed together at the edge in order to create a
thermal barrier using air or one or more gases but excluding any
non-float glass components (other than the spacer and
[[Page 31609]]
insulating materials) that may be mounted within the space between
sheets of float glass (e.g., blinds, wrought iron cores, and camed
patterned glass), as such non-float glass components are deemed
outside the scope and not subject to duties; and (3) LED mirrors
(i.e., float glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes
attached to or integrated with the mirror, as well as framed float
glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or
integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame, but without other
electronic functionality such as digital or video displays or audio
circuitry).
Float glass products covered by the scope may meet one or more
of the ASTM-C162, ASTM-C1036, ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1172, ASTM-C1349,
ASTM-C1376, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, ASTM-C1464, ASTM-C1503, ASTM-C1651,
ASTM-E1300, and ASTM-E2190 specifications, definitions, and/or
standards.
Float glass products may be further worked, including, but not
limited to, operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging; notching;
drilling; etching; bending; curving; chipping; embossing; engraving;
surface grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting (i.e., using high
velocity air to stream abrasive particles and thereby impart a
frosted aesthetic to the glass surface). A float glass product which
undergoes further work remains within the scope so long as the soda-
lime-silica glass originally satisfied the requirements of ASTM-
C1036 Type I and was first manufactured in a subject country,
regardless of where it is further worked.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired glass (i.e., glass with a
layer of wire mesh embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass (i.e.,
rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) meeting
the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036, including greenhouse
glass and patterned solar glass (i.e., photovoltaic glass with a
textured surface); (3) safety glazing materials for vehicles
certified to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard
Z26.1; (4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units, which consist of two
or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material, with
at least one hermetically sealed compartment that uses a gas-free
vacuum as a thermal barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs
integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame; (6) unframed ``over-
the-door'' mirrors that are ready for use as imported without
undergoing after importation any processing, finishing, or
fabrication; and (7) heat-strengthened washing machine lid glass
with an actual surface area less than 6.0 square feet (0.56 square
meters).
Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are: (1) soda-
lime-silica glass containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide by
weight, annealed with a surface compression less than 3,500 pounds
per square inch (PSI), having a transparent conductive oxide base
coating (e.g., tin oxide), and with an actual thickness less than or
equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (i.e., ``coated solar glass''); and
(2) heat treated soda-lime-silica glass with a surface compression
between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI, containing two or more drilled holes,
and having an actual thickness less than 2.5 mm (0.0984 inches)
(i.e., ``clear back solar glass''). Solar glass products (also known
as photovoltaic glass) are designed to facilitate the conversion of
solar energy into electricity.
Also excluded are metal-camed glass products (i.e., panels of
glass joined together with metal banding) where the constituent
glass panels would otherwise be excluded by reason of their size
(e.g., an actual surface area less than 0.37 square meters, or 4.0
square feet) and/or by reason of consisting of patterned flat glass
(i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides)
meeting the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036.
Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are any
products already covered by the scope of any extant antidumping and/
or countervailing duty orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from
the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 30650
(May 26, 2011), and Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic
of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011).
The products subject to the investigation are currently
classifiable under subheadings 7005.10.8000, 7005.21.1010,
7005.21.1030, 7005.21.2000, 7005.29.1810, 7005.29.1850,
7005.29.2500, 7007.29.0000, 7008.00.0000, 7009.91.5010,
7009.91.5095, and 7009.92.5010 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS). Products subject to the investigation may
also enter under HTSUS subheadings 7006.00.4010, 7006.00.4050, and
7007.19.0000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the
scope of the investigation is dispositive.
