Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative

electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and

during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce
tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21
days.\3\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now
January 15, 2026.

estimated weighted average dumping margin exists for the period May 1,
2023 through April 30, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-

Exporter/producer dumping

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with a final results within five
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final
determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because Commerce continues to rely solely on the
application of facts available with adverse inferences in accordance
with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, for Tejawat, there are no
calculations to disclose for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in
this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Tejawat will be equal to the
appropriate dumping margin established in the final results of this
administrative 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 less than fair value (LTFV)
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; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers and exporters will continue to be 3.07 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\6\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 87 FR 16458 (March

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 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.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction 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 return/destruction of APO materials, or conversion
to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
