Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed the issues raised by parties for these final results
of review in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues
that parties raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, is provided in the appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested
parties, we made certain changes to the Preliminary Results. For a
discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

average

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Commerce preliminarily determined that Companhia Brasileria
de Alum[iacute]nio and CBA Itapissuma Ltda. are affiliated, within
the meaning of sections 771(33)(E) and (G) of the Act, and should be
treated as a single entity, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(f).
See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 100966, and PDM at 1. Commerce
received no comments regarding this preliminary determination.
Accordingly, Commerce continues to find that Companhia Brasileira de
Alum[iacute]nio and CBA Itapissuma Ltda. are affiliated and
continues to treat these companies as a single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed in connection with the final results of this administrative
review to interested parties within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. For CBA, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to
antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR
produced by CBA for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will be
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in
the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 13.93 percent, the all-
others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation of
this proceeding.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Order, 86 FR at 62791.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. 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.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the destruction or return of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the destruction or return of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: September 8, 2025.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
