SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 21, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on glycine from India.\1\ On June 3, 2024,
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the Order.\2\ On July 29, 2024,
Commerce published the notice of initiation of the administrative
review of the Order, covering 25 foreign producers and/or exporters.\3\
On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by 90 days.\4\ On April 22, 2025, we extended
the time limit for completion of these preliminary results to September
26, 2025, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).\5\

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024,''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the scope of the Order is glycine from
India. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Glycine from India; 2022-2023,'' dated concurrently with, and
hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation. All review requests were
timely withdrawn for all companies listed in the Initiation Notice,
except for: (1) Bajaj Healthcare Limited (Bajaj); (2) Kumar Industries;
and (3) Paras Intermediaries Private Limited.\7\ Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is partially rescinding
this review of the Order for these 22 companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Deer Park Glycine, LLC's Letters, ``Partial Withdrawal
of Request for Administrative Review'' and ``Withdrawal of Request
for Administrative Review of 23 Companies,'' dated October 11, 2024,
and October 25, 2024, respectively; see also Avid Organics Private
Limited's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Review Request of Anti-Dumping
Duty Administrative Review,'' dated October 28, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it
concludes that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.\8\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative
review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty
assessment rate for the review period.\9\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty
assessment rate for the review period.\10\ Commerce notified all
interested parties of its intent to rescind the instant review
regarding Bajaj because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of
subject merchandise from this company during the POR and invited
interested parties to comment.\11\ We received no comments. In the
absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from Bajaj
during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review with
respect to Bajaj, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

380 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1337 (CIT 2019), at 12 (referring to section
751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that
``{w{time} hile the statute does not explicitly require that an
entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing entitlement to
a review, it does explicitly state the determined rate will be used
as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries. This result can
only obtain if the liquidation of entries has been suspended''; see

Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and

to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment rate'').

review are identified in Appendix II of this notice.

Final Results of Review
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, no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, unless extended,
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for a mandatory respondent is not zero or de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate 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 such sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\20\ If the weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review, or if an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\21\
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the
respondent(s) for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries
at the all-others rate \22\ if there is no rate for the
[[Page 51652]]
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\23\ The final
results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise under review
and for future cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where
applicable.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
\21\ Id., 77 FR at 8102-03; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\22\ The all-others rate is 13.61 percent. See Glycine from

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies for which we are rescinding this administrative
review, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period of
review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For these
companies, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these preliminary
results in the Federal Register.
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). The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but
covered in a prior 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 less-than-
fair-value investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the most recently completed
segment of the proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 13.61 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair value investigation.\25\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ See Order, 84 FR at 29171.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 26, 2025.
