Rescission of Administrative Review, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who
requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation in the Federal Register.The
petitioners timely withdrew its requests for review for all
companies,\9\ leaving only CSAC's self-request remaining. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), except for CSAC, Commerce is
rescinding this administrative review with respect to all companies
listed in Appendix II of this notice.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Withdrawal of Petitioners'

\10\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We
calculated export price in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act.
We calculated NV in accordance with section 773 of the Act.

Commerce preliminarily determines the following weighted-average
dumping margin for the period April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024:

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, 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 results in this administrative review. 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\

request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\17\ If the weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then Commerce will calculate
importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis in the final results, or if an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States
during the POR that were produced by for which CSAC did not know that
its merchandise was destined to the United States, Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
(i.e., 17.50 percent),\18\ if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\19\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Order.
\19\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies listed in Appendix II for which we are rescinding
this review, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends
to issue these rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of aluminum sheet from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will
be required); (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 17.50 percent, the
all-others rate established in the investigation.\20\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: August 5, 2025.
