Corp. (EEPV), a producer/exporter subject to this administrative
review, did not make sales of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 11, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ On August 22, 2025, Commerce issued a
post-preliminary analysis memorandum in which it made certain changes
to its differential pricing analysis.\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 workflow delays and outages experienced
by Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), on November 24, 2025,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 21
days.\4\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now
February 17, 2026.

materials.
A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case brief filed by EEPV are listed as an
appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from the
interested party regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculated
for EEPV. For a detailed discussion of these changes, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period February 1, 2023, through January
31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
EEPV Corp.................................................. 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results to interested parties within five
days after public announcement or, if there is no public
[[Page 8823]]
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 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 covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where
the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we
calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined
sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total
entered value associated with those sales. Where the respondent did not
report entered value, we calculated a per-unit assessment rate for each
importer by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by the total quantity associated
with those sales. To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit
assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we also calculated an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on
estimated entered values. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or 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 EEPV for which the
company 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, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 19.50 percent,\8\ if there
is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 80 FR at 8597.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for EEPV will be
zero, the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not covered in this administrative
review but covered in a completed 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;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or completed
prior segment of this proceeding but the producer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most
recently-completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 19.50 percent, the rate
established in the original investigation of this proceeding.\9\ These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order, 80 FR at 8597.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 or 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
Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 17, 2026.
