Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on the comments received from interested parties regarding 
our Preliminary Results, and for the reasons explained in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum, we made certain changes for the final results 
of review.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the period October 1, 2023, through September 30, 
2024:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                                                         average dumping
                   Producer/exporter                          margin
                                                            (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tata Steel Ijmuiden BV.................................            5.67
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of 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.
    Because TSIJ's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this 
review, we calculated an importer-specific assessment rate based on the 
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's 
examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\7\ Where an importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 
the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to 
antidumping duties. The final results of this administrative review 
shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries 
of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for 
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
    \8\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the 
individually examined respondent 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, we 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments 
of hot-rolled steel from the Netherlands entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 
the company subject to this review 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 completed 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, a 
prior review, or the 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; (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 3.73 
percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation.\10\ 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Order, 81 FR at 67963, 67965.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 POR. 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 disposition of 
proprietary information

[[Page 10081]]

disclosed under the 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 terms 
of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 24, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
