SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 11, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and
invited interested parties to submit comments.\1\ On July 21, 2025,
Commerce issued a post-preliminary
[[Page 8828]]
analysis in this administrative review.\2\ Due to the lapse in
appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47
days.\3\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were
electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS)
during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce
tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21
days.\4\ On December 29, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline for the
final results of this administrative review by 35 days.\5\ Accordingly,
the deadline for the final results is now February 19, 2026.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in the
appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our evaluation of the comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary Results and Post-Preliminary
Analysis, and our review of the record to address those comments, we
made certain changes to the weighted-average dumping margin calculation
for Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFCL), as detailed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3 and 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for GFCL exists for the period March 1, 2023, through February
29, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited............................ 1.83
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results of review to interested parties 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 Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1)Commerce has determined, 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.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because GFCL reported the entered
value for their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by GFCL for which it did
not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, Commerce 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.
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 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)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for GFCL will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
a producer or exporter 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 for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter
participated; (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 is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of the
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be
10.36 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the POR. Failure to comply with
[[Page 8829]]
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 serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 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 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 19, 2026.
