shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.\5\ The deadline
for the final results of this administrative review is February 10,
2026. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer and/or exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C.......................... 15.74
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results of review to interested parties in this review
within five days after public announcement of the final results 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).
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
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
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by GARMCO for
which GARMCO did not know that the merchandise was destined to the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate in the Final Determination of the investigation of
sales at less than fair value (LTFV), i.e., 4.83 percent,\7\ if there
is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from Bahrain: Final
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 86 FR
13331, 13332 (March 8, 2021); see also Order, 86 FR at 22141.
\8\ 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 the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for GARMCO will be
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise
exported by companies not covered in this review but covered in a prior
segment of this 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 or a prior segment of the proceeding (e.g., the LTFV
investigation) but the producer is, 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 4.83
percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
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 and/or countervailing 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 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or destruction 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 violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is 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: February 10, 2026.
